well, the disputes got vicious, and I admit that I skipped reading most
of it for my own sanity.

At least on IRC, however, most of the viciousness seemed to come from
the non-systemd camp; it can be true that they alienated the people who
may have wanted to help supporting other systems, but making them not
want to be on the same side of those people, but blaming the
systemd-supporting debian community for their actions doesn't sound
right.

I say seemed, however, because at least in the worst cases the pattern
of behaviour were more suggestive of a troll trying to stir up
controversy for its own sake (or for some other reason) rather than
somebody honestly concerned with systemd, and that surely helped muddle
things further.
