Systemd wants to expand to include a sudo replacement
(outpost.fosspost.org)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

sudo
is already an optional component (yes, really—I don't have it installed). Don't want its attack surface? You can stick withsu
and its attack surface instead. Either is going to be smaller than systemd's.systemd's feature creep is only surpassed by that of emacs.
Tomorrow's headline: emacs wants to expand to include a Sudo replacement
And after that: emacs wants to include a systemd replacement
:wq
I'd take that over systemd.
