The maintainers are probably going to keep the SysV scripts in there, however most will probably not want to bother maintaining them, as systemd units (and I would suspect) upstart jobs are much easier to write and maintain. If you've got a serious problem with that, then you can always write or maintain your own. If the init script needs no changing, then you're all good, but eventually some are going to need changes, and that burden might very well fall on the users. > > And respect your elders please too, they use, like, > would like to continue to use system V init, and > not be goaded into being corralled into your > new cattle pen. I've only been using Linux for 5 years, so what I say probably means nothing to you, however people that have been using Linux and Unix for decades are not all opposed to using systemd or Upstart. I really would do some research if I were you on why they're wanting to switch. It would probably shed a lot more light on your problems than what I can say in this email. -- William Giokas | KaiSforza | http://kaictl.net/ GnuPG Key: 0x73CD09CF Fingerprint: F73F 50EF BBE2 9846 8306 E6B8 6902 06D8 73CD 09CF
