The above; This is not linux to me anymore, its something else, something new, and i think, my opinion, is that it should have been setup as something new, not adopted into existing linux distros. Calling it CoreOS, why not release a new distro called CoreOS, and then when the ground/framework is done, have ubuntu, red hat and every package manager/maintainer of each distro roll their CoreOS flavour distro. As this migration is horrible (i can't find a better word).
But i think many simply like 'to ride the wave of 'software' change', be the author having its name above a package for a particular distro, having their names mentioned in the wiki as the author that brought 'the change'. Thinking something new must be better, of course plenty that don't think that and honestly fool themselves there is a need for systemd.
