I don't care what it is, so long as it's not sysvinit :) I believe it to be broken, and not a future-proof solution, and I assumed that was sorta taken for granted that others agreed. The general consensus[0] is that sysvinit is not a solution going forward. > sysvinit is maintainable and stable, so why seek to change it? It's stable, but it's not going to be maintainable in the long-run, and I believe it will become unmaintainable very soon. > Paul, you know I think you're awesome, but you've stirred up a whole > lot of trouble here with a questionable motive. What motive is that, if I might ask?[1] :) We were already flaming pretty hard, it was out of control, it was in the best interest of everyone to get it resolved in a quick way. I believed (and still believe) the TC was the best way out of the situation, so I did the natrual thing. I care in so far as we are able to keep Debian maintainable and use software that allows future releases[2] to get sent to users without fuss. > Best wishes, > Mike Much love, Paul [0]: Yes, I know tg disagrees.
