SystemD has been a contentious topic in the Open Source community, and the issues with SystemD are not purely technical. They are also related to the very aggressive and coercive promotion of SystemD as being the one init system for all Linux distributions. As SystemD absorbs more and more functionality, such as device management, power management, control of your laptop's backlight, and other low-level functions, it becomes more and more embedded in the foundation of the Linux userspace stack, and distributions become more beholden to upstream SystemD changes and future 'acquisitions' of functionality. This erodes the ability of Linux distributions -- and thus Linux users --- of being in control of the low-level technologies used for various aspects of Linux. We believe it's in the best interests of the Linux community to encourage diversity and innovation in this space. We want the larger Gentoo ecosystem -- as well as Funtoo -- to support innovation, not uniformity.
