Oh goody, Poettering has decided to get into security:
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Amutable
No doubt, he plans to bring his proud traditions of over-engineering and under-delivering to the world of security.
Prediction: It will suck, it will introduce far more problems than it solves, and drive complexity through the roof. All the while introducing some truly ridiculous bugs that change expected behaviors. Applications will have to change to accommodate the foundational breaking issues this will create.
And the Linux community is going to gobble it up, hook, line, and sinker.
You can always count on Poettering to bring all the worst "advantages" of Microsoft brand engineering to the Linux world.

@nuintari@mastodon.bsd.cafe ah yes, a security product from the man famous for rejecting security relevant reports for his projects as "wontfix" with some vague bullshit about POSIX standards while ignoring the very documented real world systems that are vulnerable
I can't wait for them to literally be in charge of the entire OS :))

@nuintari The way I read it, their mission statement could mean either they want to
* replace the Linux kernel and base system with something else Poettering-flavored, or
* add one or more more layer(s) of Poetteringisms to the already too many layers of stuffOr some combination.
Hard to tell. I sense this will not end well either way.

@nuintari At times, I think it's their way to go on with the "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish". Now they're in the (advanced) Extend phase. Commercial distributions will follow, other OSS distributions will follow, too. At a certain point, they'll totally guide the entire OS in their own direction.

@spdrnl that's what they are known for in the Netherlands as well. Undercutting the competition during tender bids and then quadrupling their prices once they're halfway through a project.
