Would you also say it's fine to switch from exim to postfix again and again just because postfix is the default MTA since 10 years? Regardless the user has a working exim config but not a postfix one? Why providing exim packages at all?
You are comparing apples with bananas ;-)
Yup he is: if you replace exim with postfix, mail stops working. If you replace sysvinit with systemd *my entire system*, the thing I get paid to maintain and develop, may stop working. Could we, maybe, get some professional system administrators on the release configuration team? I'll tell you people the same thing I tell programming language maintainers: Your baby? It's *a tool I use to get work done*. You rake me over the coals with it, and I'll find tool providers who don't. It's bad enough we're dumping a perfectly serviceable 20 year old tool in favor of something better; doing it on an upgrade without any documentation is absolutely unacceptable, professionally. And as for "no one's stepping up to maintain it", well, that's just cause it's not *officially* dropped yet. KDE3 is 3 orders of magnitude more complex, and that only took a year or so to come back to life after the abortion that is KDE4. Sometimes, y'know, better *really is* the enemy of good enough. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
