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.
This allows for proper testing of ONE Init System and fixing issues around it. Not having to worry for an alternative INIT System can only have it's advantages.
(Not saying NOBODY can keep on working / integrating SysInitV, just saying: the openSUSE Project should focus on SystemD as the one supported Init System).
There are a bunch of issues we could have saved ourselves from by not going the split way.
I have been lurking here all day. I think now is the time to respond. Given that most distros are leaving SystemV, it would be idiotic for openSUSE to try to support both systemd and SystemV. Similarly, we likely do not have the resources to support SystemV without support from any other distro. Thus, the proposal to support only systemd in 12.3 makes sense to me. If the people that have been so vocal about keeping SystemV cannot accept systemd, then it is their responsibility to support it. For me, the initial setups in 12.1 were a little rough, but systemd has just plain worked with 12.2.
