For those with reading comprehension skills this isn't funny but rather a natural conclusion. The problem for you is that you're making assumptions about the author that you haven't verified.
The problem here isn't change, or re-thinking linux. The problem is re-inventing the wheel, and doing it poorly.
CoreOS uses systemd, but it's not a distribution in the classic sense -- rather it's a platform for containers. The narrow use-case for systemd here removes some (most? all?) of the concerns.

ah so you're saying that systemd is flexible because it was chosen for a distro where it has very limited remit? so you mean it wasn't some horrible octopus which tried to suck all of coreos into it before they rejected its entanglements?
