With the "short" release cycle, I suggest that the elimination of SystemV be delayed until 13.1.
I would also agree with this - that gives enough advance notice to those who have something to migration from sysv to systemd, and the change in "major" version number (yeah, I know that's not really how the versioning works, but it's still a perceptual thing) makes for a clear signal that there is a significant change - and aligning a significant change with that bump in release number intuitively makes sense for users.
The elimination of sysv does seem to be too big for March from what little I know.
I haven't seen a systematic collection of regressions that would come from dropping sysvinit init yet, besides the catchall bug [*]. Without that, talk of unworkable interactive init scripts, problems mounting crypted filesystems, or telling unmanaged VM processes to quit at shutdown is too nebulous for me to judge this (but neither is it my decision). * https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696902 Will -- Will Stephenson, openSUSE Board, Booster, KDE Developer SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
