Care to share any evidence to back up the tall claim that systemd authors forced their code on anyone?

[gatlin]

The claim was "shopped around" and if you are going to change people's words do not be surprised when nobody takes your challenge. And preemptively: absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

[pcpuser]

What does "shopped around" mean? That's not a common or accepted idiom for code. Or not one I've come across anyway.

Also show me evidence of them "shopping around" code. I'll wait.

> absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

After holding up well for a long time, absence of evidence becomes a good indicator for actual evidence of absence.
