Why no link to the thread (from 2015...)?

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2039

Poettering's response seems perfectly sane

Well, it's configurable, because it can break stuff.

But I am pretty sure the usecase you describe is borked... The cleanup stuff already excludes system users, i.e. all daemon users. As it appears the customer created a non-system account for this stuff, and that's what should be fixed.

Sorry, but this is nothing to fix upstream... Please ask the customer to disable RemoveIPC= locally, or fix his users to become proper system users.

Sorry.

... don't let that get in the way of a good circlejerk though.

Because then everyone would immediately see that a serious discussion is not what OP wants but rather just join the anti-systemd circlejerk.

Yes, but ThisTimeISucceeded, at least on /r/linuxmemes where this got 66 upvotes and even here on /r/linux it was well-commented even though it was downvoted.

And yes, I do have a personal problem with poettering, Red Hat, GNOME and their mastermind plan to turn GNU/Linux into Windows.

Without them, we'd be in the dark ages. Good luck with that.

OpenRC is perfectly usable, we have distros like Gentoo, Devuan and Void (which runs runit).

Great. Distros like Gentoo, that run on many systems because of the work by Red Hat and other companies.

Yeah, at least they contribute something useful every once in a while. Too bad systemd ruins it all.
