> systemd developers pushed the community

I remember spending days reading the arguments on the Debian mailing list. There was no push from systemd devs. (Endless threads about upstart, how tweaking upstart would solve everything and it's already in Ubuntu, and a lots of questions about guarantees. Are openrc/upstart/systemd maintainers willing to guarantee this or that? And as far as I remember, there were no guarantees, obviously.)
Before that when the hwdb and udev merged into systemd, people got the pitchforks out, it was the decision by Kay, but obviously "systemd devs" were somehow behind it.
When Greg KH supported kdbus, somehow it was again those meddling systemd devs.
Somehow OSS veterans just lost their agency overnight and became puppets? Nah.
