No, I said that, so don't blame the OP. I was wrong in this
particular issue and hope - in time - to be forgiven.

Right, everything will.

With systemd(1), if you all remember how it was a couple of
years ago - it was like an echo, over and over, "systemd.
Don't know anything about it. Don't like it" - but with
systemd there is an easy way to limit resource use tho, e.g.

  $ systemd-run --scope -p CPUQuota=SLICE% CMD

Remember init? Run levels were hardcoded - in *file names*!
Unbelievable. And when Debian went for systemd, all the
derivates quickly followed suit. So much for "Ubuntu isn't
Debian, Debian is loosing its significance and market share."

And as I remember Debian was forked (for the nth time) again
for this very reason, the great init/systemd polemic into yet
another Debian fork, this one with the claim for fame that it
stuck to init. Where are these guys now? he-ll-o?

But comparisons to the Sino-Soviet split are maybe
exaggerated...
