I do think that you don´t want change.
You expect distro developers to fix it for you. You are not willing to take
things upstream.
That doesn´t create change.
I omit the rest.
Cause I do think that it is a *waste* of *my* energy to continue this.
I offered ways to act towards *change*.
You rejected *all* of them.
Nothing I have to offer to you anymore.
If you want to put your energy into writing lengthy posts here on this mailing
list lamenting of oh how bad it all is, instead of *acting* towards change… or
at least give it a try to bring things to were decisions are made or help to
facilite change, that is completely and entirely your choice.
It is not mine, however.
So I think we make different choices here. I am willing to give systemd a fair
change, willing to report bugs and I am also willing to take concerns
upstream. Thats my choice.
No need and no sense to try to convince you of my choice. I just think that
the way you try to handle the systemd adoption of Debian serves just one
purpose: To specifically make you feel even more bad about. And others.
I step out from this now.
Discuss as you wish.
If it at one time it is only systemd ranting here on this list, I am free to
unsubcribe myself from it, to save myself the hassle to even receive this
negativity into my mailbox.
Ciao,
