Except it is. Want to run gnome? You have to run systemd

No you don't. Repeating a lie doesn't make it true.

Heard of udev? I have used it for longer than I can remember. Now part of systemd.

The source code is maintained by the same people, who happen to keep it in the same directory tree. udev is not dependant on systemd.

You're still entirely free to not use it. But then of course you're stuck using either an outdated or fringe distribution that doesn't offer the finer things in life, like loads of nicely pre-packaged software or timely security updates.

Debian is an "outdated or fringe distrubution"?

Debian Jessie works without systemd. If you find anything that doesn't work then open a bug.

Of course, as always, you can't insist that the Debian fix the bug, buit if you're polite and helpful maybe the bug will get fixed.

inetd would spawn a new daemon to handle each incoming connection. Sure, that can work in some cases, but your daemon has to be written to take that into account.

Systemd can spawn the daemon on the first request and leave it running.

xinetd can do that too, Set "wait = yes" in the xinetd conf file

I think stock inetd can do it too, but the wording in the manpage is almost unintelligable:

wait/nowait

        This field tells inetd(8) if it should wait for a server program to return or to continue processing new connections immediately. Many connections to server processes require answers after data transfers are complete, where other types can keep transmitting on a connection continuously, the latter is a "nowait" and the former "wait". In most cases, this entry corresponds to the socket-type, for example a streaming connection would (most of the time) have a "nowait" value in this field.

You're absolutely, right:

One cannot react violently, but if [someone] says something bad about my mother, he can expect a punch. It’s to be expected,” the pontiff said. “There are a lot of people who speak badly about other religions. They make fun of them. What happens is what happens with my friend [who insults my mother]. There is a limit.

Is a truly crass and horrible thing to say after 12 innocent people have been murdered.
