Hi all,
I know, a radical proposal, BUT a bunch of reported issues in 12.2 are around systemd/sysinitV, both trying to do the same thing, differently.
It would clearly help the distribution to commit clearly to ONE init system only, officially and formally ditching the other.
Specialization worked great for dinosaurs... and Suse's mascot is the lizard... but that worked for the dinosaurs might not be a good thing to work in the same way for SuSE.
This allows for proper testing of ONE Init System and fixing issues around it.
---- It also allows for a less diverse software environment -- one that will be less resilient in the face problems and easier to attack and fail. Single point failure great for attackers, and bad for those who value 99.999. If systemV hadn't been on 12.2, I would have been hosed likely for weeks trying to figure out the problem. As it was, I was down for maybe 15 minutes while I put systemV initd back in place. You going to guarantee me a similar backup plan in 12.3? Until you can guarantee it will work the first time in < 15 minutes on my setup.., think about keeping a backup in place. Otherwise you are looking a deliberate attempt to sabotage people's systems with an upgrade. That would be great helping suse go the way of the dinosaur.
