So please, this isn't an issue at all, the entire rest of the Linux community is moving to systemd, as a chance to standardize a lot of the cross-distro differences, we can not, and should not, ignore that at all.
My big concern with all of the systemd discussion is how much flexibility that we (and UNIX generally) have classically had and are losing with systemd. It's like the Apple/GNOME-ification of the boot process and that's not necessarily a good thing. How many feature requests have we seen to take functionality away? Many of the things that are just being handwaved away as "no longer necessary" use the extremely simplistic environment of a smartphone or tablet as an example. Real world deployments of a full-fledged Linux distribution tend to be a bit more complex.
What doesn't work anymore? What is no longer possible? What has taken away?
Then we're met with the "want X functionality? Put it in the initramfs." at the same time that there are *other* people actively trying to *eliminate* the initramfs.
That doesn't clash I think. People with separate /usr never really asked to boot without an initramfs. Kay -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
