I haven't been the one bringing this topic. Sam did.
Sam wrote something along the line with "what if systemd implements a
new feature", to which I replied that systemd shouldn't dictate to
Debian all we should do.
There's multiple ways to fix this kind of situation. Obviously, one of
them is to implement that missing feature.
Another possible way, is an exit strategy where we declare the new
feature as not supported in Debian, just because we have the power to
decide.
All of this *may* happen, this is purely hypothetical, and this should
be addressed on a case by case basis. But we're not even talking about
something that we know exist, so this is all FUD and a very
counter-productive discussion.
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
