If the systemd miscreants were in the automobile tire business, they would be trying to tell us how much better their 64-sided tires are so much better than 8-sided tires... entirely missing the point that TIRES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ROUND, not polygonal.
Tires can be an amazing number of shapes. If you look at any real world tire you will see that it isn't actually round. Then there's the matter that its distorted by the weight of the car. There have actually been 'tires' that don't have have a rim, they are hundreds of spokes that end in little feet and the spokes are actually pistons. Sixty four such 'spokes' will give a smooth ride. One can also argue that many aggressive treads mean that tires aren't round to start with! http://www.todayscyclecoverage.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/2014... And tires don't need to be pneumatic: http://editorial.autos.msn.com/blogs/post--polaris-debuts-airless-armored-ti... One car argue, also, that tires are only doing their job when they go out of round: http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/4jYcX_D09ig/hqdefault.jpg Did you say that you use KDE? Well my splash screen when KDE start us shows a 64 sided sprocket wheel. You are arguing from ignorance.
All of these "features" in systemd are not beneficial, because they are all tied into ONE executable...one thing we know is that modularity is FAR FAR FAR superior to integration. Modularity forces a discipline on design that need not be observed with massive integration -- thereby allowing sloppy constructs.
You are arguing from ignorance again. Systemd has at least 80 distinct binaries, as well as various libraries, and calls on all the standard programs that the sysvinit scripts calls on. In many ways it is more modular than sysvinit since its is declarative rather than procedural. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
