Well, once I understood their (Redhat's) motivation, which was/is 
enterprise/cloud/vm oriented (which is why they were so concerned about 
parallelism for startup, etc) - I dropped the conspiracy theory aspect 
of it all... it actually does make sense in that context.

And as long as Linus is at the helm of kernel development, I'm not too 
worried about the systemd guys doing too much damage there - I just 
can't see him letting it happen.

If I were the type to worry just for the sake of worrying, I'd be 
wondering what may happen down the road, if Linus were to suddenly lose 
interest in kernel development (for whatever reason) and walk away from 
it - who/what would take over the reins? But that would be pointless...
