> 90% of Red Hat's revenue is from servers

just a correction, red hat revenue is from support contracts.

> If systemd is bad for servers, why did RHEL[1] and CoreOS adopt it? Are we to believe that these companies work against themselves?

I know of two theories:

1) making systemd a dependency for gnome and the rest, red hat is trying to exterminate *bsd, which is considered better for servers.

2) "Software that ain't broken doesn't sell $$$upport. "
