> I'm not sure LP is a high-quality source. He has reputation that makes me want to listen to everyone else but him.

Based off his reputation, I would agree, but after reading a lot of his own words via blog posts, comments in github issues, etc, I wonder how he gained that reputation. He has solid reasoning behind many of his ideas even if you disagree with them, and his comments seem pretty respectful and focused on the technical aspects. Maybe things were different in the past, or maybe some segments of the community just never forgave him for the early buggy systemd implementations, or maybe I just happened to only read things he wrote when he wasn't having a bad day, who knows.

Yeah, but he's coming from a viewpoint that is incompatible with the community at large. "Whatever you did in the past was wrong, fuck you and your opinion, that's how it's gonna be".

So, not interested in his opinions even on merit.
