I did not know much, if anything, about Poettering. That's good to know. My goal is to use OpenRC with s6, and I like how the s6 dev wants to create an init system to compete against systemd. I don't like systemd for its bloat and flawed design, and some recent features of systemd have been sus.

I don't pay much attention to dev manchildren, so forgive me if I am not aware of their histories.

Apologies if my Poettering rant was worded too strongly. I guess I just mean that there are very good reasons people dislike him so much. He's earned far less animosity than he deserves imo.

s6 is cool, though I've not played around with it too much. I've mostly stuck with runit on my Linux systems since it's simple, fast and I'm happy with it. You might take a look at dinit, too, if you haven't already. It's still maturing, but dinit is probably the most syntactically similar to systemd. Both are very fast.
