Re: systemd requiring Linux >= 3.7

Hi Jean, I'm not here to complain about systemd. Did you read my
Emails? I said that Jessie with systemd is good. I already maintain a
Jessie+systemd build of my work, though it's not useful because
platform-specific kernel modules were written for 3.0 even though 3.0
was already quite old at the time.
Nothing wrong, I don't complain either :-) I have taken the opportunity
to share how easy it is today to migrate to systemd with Jessie in a
hope to motivate more peoples to try it. It was in response to the
'These vendor's products easily run Debian today but won't boot a Jessie
image with systemd.' part of your email.
I'm here wondering if adding this circumstance to consideration for
retaining sysvinit capability in Jessir is worth throwing into the
discussion. Given that so far I seem to be the only one on the planet
in this predicament stuck supporting new, current hardware that's
locked into kernel 3.0, perhaps not.'
Maybe can you explain to this vendors that the cost of the migration
there modules to a newer kernel will be less than the cost of supporting
them self an old, officially unsupported system. Ok, it's hard to say it
it's true today, but this will be certainly true in the future if there
expect to have up to date system. My point of view is that system V init
are counted not only since systemd adoption, but already since upstart
proved his goal.
Note: While mandated for a new board architecture, I strongly push the
hardware to only use standard interfaces available from userspace
applications, to avoids out-of-tree kernel module.
Regards,
Jean-Christian
