That's exactly how it works.
That's nice for those wanting to convert to UEFI boot, however, for the majority of users *now*, you required a hack in order to boot.
There is no hack required, just a bootloader plus an initrd.
You required it because of the switch to systemd --
No, and initrd is required since long time before systemd..
This is so typical of suse -- switching to new techs and having to drop support for old techs that people use --
why you are still here then ?
I can't replace a DSO without 100 apps complaining that they need some 'SPECIAL' version of the DSO....

None of the other stuff he wrote is important if you are in single user. Saving memory? It's running in 'S' or '1'. Security problems? I'm not connected to a network (yet).

Still relevant and applies today. If it was that great of a 'meme', why hasn't anyone else spoken up
in support showing further support?... a lone wolf posting in 2010....
the lone wolf wrote the current libc code almost by his goddamn self, kinda relevant to listen to the people that actually knows how things work.
