We do several of these things, and bundling them together looks nice; I imagine troubleshooting the pipeline is much easier. We would need the enterprise version because we are on-prem, and our user count compared against the 'pro' edition makes me think this would be a hard sell - high 5 figures/year to replace a few shell scripts is tough.
Many of us in California don't care if you think they "shouldn't" live here.
I'm perfectly well aware of the economic and tribal arguments. The former are not convincing and the proponents of the latter can go pound sand - given my preferences, I'd exclude them long before I'd exclude immigrants over paperwork.
So, explain this. I mean, it is a positive step that you've backed off your strange "rage" accusation, but why do you consider my stance on the technical merits of this step irrational?
Why does any criticism of systemd have to be due to "rage"? There is this ongoing behavior whereby anything other than fawning praise is treated as irrational and emotion-driven.
You may as well ask why Lennart rages so hard against ZFS.
I think this may be where I step off the train. I grumbled, but can live with it as init, and it is easy enough to disable the ntp and name resolution nonsense to use decent tools.
Buy systemd has no business sticking its nose in authentication or storage, or more generally telling me how to manage users. This is a no.
The problem would be that they would no longer be academics.
For a lot of people who head down that path, they consider it more of a vocation than a job. It may well be a good thing for all the next folks who consider the path, but it choosing that would come at a large personal cost for them.
We do have a brood of reactionaries attempting to blur that distinction like they always do, but there are plenty of conservatives who do not share that particular bias.
Linus is just wrong as far as maintenance, as a look at the linux-zfs lists would show.
From my perspective, it has no real competitor under linux, which is why I use it. I don't consider brtfs mature enough for critical data. (Others can reasonably disagree, I have intentionally high standards for data durability.)
Aside from legal issues, he's talking out of his ass.
No, but even if the crazy person is correct in this instance, I'm still not relying on them for political/personal safety/vitamin/any other information of any consequence.

OS vendors worked around it in software.
