Single point failure great for attackers, and bad for those who value 99.999.
Everybody knows I'm for keeping sysvinit, but, in software, the opposite of what you said there is usually true. More diversity means more attack surface which means less security. I have to agree there with Dominique, committing to one init system would help strengthen that system, but as of 12.1, systemd was not up to the task. It may get there by 12.3, or perhaps later, if upstream starts to be more cooperative. Big if. The result of making systemd the only option in openSUSE, IMO, will be some amount of emigration. Maybe massive, maybe not. I don't really know. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
