The worst thing about this is when stuff goes down, it does so at the least convenient time. Back in 2003 I was on a customer site who had a RH server and there was no internet connection available (as it was routed through the box) and my phone was a Treo 180G which had precisely fuck all useful internet on it. The company still exists and is in the middle of nowhere on the end of a shonky ADSL line and no mobile phone reception so the story hasn't improved.

If this happened to me today with systemd I'd be up shit creek without a paddle.
