I don't remember that /run was mentioned separately in a similiar way but this was part of the introduction of systemd that was discussed several times.
Please keep in mind that systemd is also an effort to bring the distributions together in some more areas to make packaging easier,
Exactly, where's the problem with this? There are some very good reasons why this /run is better than what it replaces (http://lwn.net/Articles/436012/). Opensuse would be a much worse distribution if it just kept doing things the way they've been done for years just because not everyone can agree on every change.
Maybe that statement of purpose (or whatever it was) for Opensuse should be updated with something like: "Things change, even low-level system components. We'll try to make these changes as smooth as possible and only do them when they're beneficial overall, but if you want a Linux distribution that looks like one from 1999 you'd be better off using Slackware" :)

I would just add, if you want to know, before release just act! start a vm with factory (it's usable at 98% of time) and then you just get prepare or participate in its evolution. For thoses I saw telling that they don't use systemd, prepare yourself to cry. We offer sysvinit as a fallback this time (12.1) nothing prove that will be the case in future releases. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
