There is and remains the problem that the current situation and
working is not properly documented, nor can it be deduced from reading
config files under /etc, which was the case before the switch.
Before deriding people who have problems, we as DDs should accept that
what we ship now as default works in many cases, but when it does
*NOT* work, the user is in a very bad situation - as the system is
undocumented and intransparent and without documentation accessible
in an acceptable way.
I for myself as DD can say that I am one of the lucky ones as most
things work on my laptop, but I *can*not*help* (as DD!) anyone
having problems with the whole policykit/systemd/whatever
conglomerate of programs.
That was probably not the best idea from a distributions point of view.
Now, everyone, go back to rant about users who cannot fix things
themselves anymore - because only users who can are the first
responsability of Debian.
