@hannah @Siph I read in an article a while ago that systemd was an intentional pun on Système D. I think some of the devs were French, so it would be surprising if they weren't at least aware, it's such a commonly mentioned concept in France.

@uliwitness @hannah I didn't find any information to indicate that but if you can that'd be cool!

@Siph @hannah Wikipedia (en) mentions it and has a link to an archived article at Heise making the claim: web.archive.org/web/2012101417 that in turn links to this: web.archive.org/web/2013011403 which is the site of Lennart Poettering, apparently the original author of systemd.
