I fully agree with you that this bashing on systemd is counter productive, however I guess we should also see if from a different point. openSUSE is a community driven distribution, but as far as I remember the community itself never took the decision to switch to systemd. This was mainly driven by the maintainers of the core-system, which are part of SUSE.
And the maintainers of the core system are also part of openSUSE. I don't think you are trying to make the case that people who contribute to openSUSE, be it during their work time, and/or outside of it and who happen to be employed by SUSE, are not part of the openSUSE community. So why that inflammatory statement with its underlying implicit claim that it was done by authority and outside of the realm of the community?
At the time a few people were creating facts without much discussion or any sort of decision-making process with the wider community or at least those who'd have to bear the costs afterwards. And there Raymond is entirely correct that it was certainly not a shining example of a cooperative behavior and community (even regardless of the employment of those involved). Obviously you haven't been on the receiving end of this, but this has been extensively discussed and criticized before on this very list, feel free to dig it out from the archives. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
