Could not have said this any better.   I user of FreeBSD coming from 
Linux ( since 1995 ) and having to go thru the systemd fiasco causing me 
to move to FreeBSD.   Do I now need to move to Dragonfly BSD?
Or do I need to go back to building and packaging my own version of 
Linux.   This did not impress me at all to say the least.

Later.....Looking for options.....
