With apologies to uselessdguy, I have to agree that the name is not an asset. I have NO problem with clever names, but sometimes they are a bit too much. For example, I always though that Lesstif (a clone of Motif) was a silly, off-putting, name. As to the substance of it, I'm not thrilled with systemd and generally agree with the argument that it's taking on too much. So I wish the uselessd project well, if for no other reason than it may encourage systemd to address some of it's shortcomings.
