[Bradford] Uselessd - a replacement for systemd

[David Parkin]

Not quite sure about the bad in this. If we don't want systemd and the
distros do, we need a cut down version to replace it. Isn't this what
it's about?

Hum, well, ta for the linkie...

It looks like this is exactly the opposite of what would be useful :-(

It starts with the systemd-208 codebase, which is destined to be
widely regarded as a bad move [1].

As a FreeBSD project, it throws away all the Linux specific stuff --
including all the stuff that we need to have without its systemd
encapsulation (cgroups, udev/libudev, logind).

The only stuff it keeps is hideous objectionable stuff (process
management, declarative config, socket activation).

No wonder they call it uselessd :-(

-D.
