One of my favorite things about open source in general is that I get to
work on what I want to, failing that I get to work on what I feel I need
to work on most (whatever that means to me at the time).  There is no
policy, nor should there ever be, which would FORCE a FOSS developer to
work on something they don't want to.

That said, just because I don't care about systemd/eudev/pinkponies
doesn't give me any right to block it's support in the tree or even in
the packages I am primary maintainer of.  You want to add new xyz
blahblah support to one of my packages?  Go for it, if you don't break
my package I won't care (but the bugs with xyz blahblah may be
reassigned to the xyz blahblah team).

No one should have the right to tell me what I have to work on just like
I shouldn't have the right to tell anyone else not to work on something.
 Your freedom ends at the tip of my nose, and after that...

(just in case it doesn't read clearly this is a general response on the
topic not a scathing attack on chithead, it's really hard to completely
avoid speaking in 2nd person.)
