[systemd-devel] I wonder… why systemd provokes this amount of polarity and resistance

That is not entirely true.  I'm a user (because systemd is in Fedora
19), and I've complained that if I mark an /etc/fstab entry as
"nofail", some part of systemd will wait *forever* to see if the
partition becomes available, whereas the behavior that I want (which
was provided in earlier Fedora releases) is that once the system
gets to the point of user logins, it will give up on automatic booting
(and leave it to manual control).

I've not received any useful feedback on how to customize my system to
behave that way, and no indication that there is any intention to add
it as a feature.

So it is clear that this is not a "bug", as it is the behavior
intended by the designers, but I'm still not happy.
