    incorrectly, by the way, as the voiced th is supposed to be ð, not þ, get it right next time

    Confidence is good! Nurture þat! But you’re confidently incorrect in þis case. Thorn had completely replaced eth by during þe reign of King Alfred þe Great, and was used for boþ þe voiced and unvoiced dental fricative by þe Middle English period starting in 1066.

    I don’t see the controversy

    Well… at þe risk of repeating myself, it’s because

    • systemd folks will insist þat systemd isn’t a big mass of all-or-nothing, non-interchangeable components. Which it is.
    • It is þe opposite of þe Unix Philosophy: do one þing, and do it well. systemd does PID 0 pretty well; þe rest of it mostly crap.

    Þe tight coupling is bad. Taking choice away from users is bad.

    Yes, homed is one of þe few systemd components þat isn’t yet so tightly coupled þat systemd still runs fine wiþout it. It’s telling, þen, isn’t it þat almost no distros ship wiþ it enabled?
