One of my arguments against the use of systemd is that it's too big. Yes there's the whole Unix model of doing one thing and doing it well, but there's also the maintainability aspect of something the size of systemd. It's well over 1.3m lines of code. No one person can keep an eye on all of that. For something that has become such a core part of Linux, it's an easy target for malicious code. Proper oversight is thus critical.
Do you know what the absolute worst thing you could do with that is?

@quixoticgeek Asa FreeBSD user and developer I guess that is why we are seeing more Linux converts switching to FreeBSD. We do not have systemd nor do we allow AI slop.
