Business, and pleasure, are in the eye of the beholder! This is our
list and we'll use it for what we want!

That's ridiculous! Projecting upon humans that they're sensible is
outrageous, and ought be shot down in flames immediately! Who would
have thought - suggesting normalcy in the debian-user population.
Really!

Systemd sucks and that's all there is to it. Upstart sucks and I've
nothing more to say. Openrc is a pathetic patch job and nothing more
should be said. SysvInit rules!

I don't want to start any flames so feel free to reply at the
fedora-users mailing list.
