It is hard to understand how it can be double digits.  Gnome depedent
packages alone is gigabytes of packages. Then there is is the affects to
X and logging.  This is a fork.  Your looking over your shoulder and
saying, I can run around this corner pretty quick right now.  yeah.  But
not in the future.  Not as things seem to be progressing.

You can call it hand waiving if you want, and I'll admit to being quite
passionate on this subject, but if systemd is the linux future, I want
no part of it.
