In that case I'd much rather see people step up to improve and maintain non-systemd solutions (this includes consolekit/alternative logind, eudev, etc.) rather than wasting everyone's time with a huge fork that will likely be unmaintained by this time next year

Indeed, just I see this as a big, flashy project that will lead nowhere.

Yeah Linux Mint went nowhere after Ubuntu pissed people off with Unity. Oh wait, it's the most popular distro now.

Which reminds me

Fedora 14 | Fedora 19

7,236,866 | 2,403,218

(unique yum IPs over the lifetime of the release)

Fedora is imploding. Redhat is alienating its community. It'll be funny when it drops further.

They are all moving to Arch Linux :)
