The idea of stagnation or inflexibility does not apply to basic principles. If we decided 100, or 50,000 years ago that murder is wrong, when does that idea expire?
There are quite a few direct and indirect logical fallacies there, quite apart from it being a ridiculous counterargument.
It bring to mind this latest 'bon mot' by yet another politician:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jul/14/forcing-facebook-google-t... <quote> This situation led tech reporter Asha McLean from ZDnet to ask the prime minister: “Won’t the laws of mathematics trump the laws of Australia? And then aren’t you also forcing people onto decentralised systems as a result?”
To which Turnbull replied: “The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia.”
Just how the law of Australia will override mathematics is still unclear. </quote>
I fail to see how this relates or what your point is in quoting it, and history does not suggest it's because I just fail to see things in general. The principles of flexibility, predictability, simplicity, agnosticism, and interoperability which I allude to have not been obsoleted or superseded by any of the statements of purpose offered by systemd. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
