Lennart Poettering works for Red Hat, btw.

so? that doesn't make systemd automatically stable enough to be used on redhat's flagship product.

This line of reasoning is drifting dangerously close to the conformist call of "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" or in this case, RedHat. If systemd turns out to be a mistake in RHEL, it wouldn't be the first time something enterprisey did something wrong. We (Linux users) can't afford to let enterprise thinking, which is often more political than technical, dominate the community.

I sometimes wonder if the whole systemd push is a "gottcha" in the direction of Oracle and their RHEL clone.
