<p>Anyone who cares about security may want to switch from systemd as soon as possible; its lead
developer doesn't care about your security at all.</p>

<blockquote>"You don't assign CVEs to every single random bugfix we do, do you?"</blockquote>
<p>- Lennart Poettering, systemd lead developer</p>

<p>My thoughts:<br>
Yes, if they're security-related.</p>

>Issue #1 - CVEs Are Not Useful</a></h2>
<br>
<blockquote>"Humpf, I am not convinced this is the right way to announce this. We never did that, and half the
CVEs aren't useful anyway, hence I am not sure we should start with that now, because it is either
inherently incomplete or blesses the nonsensical part of the CVE circus which we really shouldn't
bless..."</blockquote>
<p>- Lennart Poettering, systemd lead developer</p>
<br>
<p>My thoughts:<br>
CVEs are supposed to be for security, and a log of when they were found and their severity, so yes,
it *is* the correct way to announce it. It seems as if over 95 security-concious people think the
same.</p>

<br>
<blockquote>"Yes, as you found out "0day" is not a valid username. I wonder which tool permitted you to create
it in the first place. Note that not permitting numeric first characters is done on purpose: to
avoid ambiguities between numeric UID and textual user names.

So, yeah, I don't think there's anything to fix in systemd here. I understand this is annoying, but
still: the username is clearly not valid."</blockquote>
<p>- Lennart Poettering, systemd lead developer</p>
<br>
<p>My thoughts:<br>
systemd was the thing that allowed root access just because a username started with a number, then
Poettering blamed the user.</p>
