I don't know: I do know from our recent experience of bugs appearing and getting fixed too!) that "whoa, let's preserve more than one init system in Debian". Maybe an experience with systemd + uselessd will not make me react "whoa, let's preserve more than two init systems in Debian", or maybe even "whoa, let's preserve at least one conservative init system in Debian" - I don't know. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
