Hi, Christoph Biedl: > - upstream shows little respect for people who object systemd Why should they? "If you don't want to use my software on general principles, go away and write your own.

In my environment, people get annoyed when they need to do admin work on Wheezy systems because the get used to all the features which systemd provides. Tangible benefits. Which in my book trump assertions of "vendor lock-in" (how is that possible, anyway? it's free software!) and more-or-less unspecific concerns. > Those who are in favour do this in a strong fashion that bystanders > could easily take as "fanboy". Yes I am a fan of systemd. I *like* a whole lot of the features it provides and I do NOT want to re-implement the lot of them in each and every sys5rc shell script. The only reason I don't tell you every time exactly which features these are is that we've gone round on this multiple times, half a year ago, on this list and off, and I'm tired of repeating myself – and everybody else is (probably) tired of reading yet another list of features somebody didn't know they missed until they had a system which provides them. -- -- Matthias Urlichs
