On the other hand, it brings a lot of problems and complicates things that used to be simple and easy.
Yeah, simple and easy... did you mean obscure, undocumented, racy and impossible to verify in large scale ?
Some features aren't provided at all and
when people point it out, the answer is "you shouldn't want them because systemd doesn't provide them"
Well, people is asking for fairly ridiculous things.
It's exactly this attitude which seems to be common among the cool kids at Redhat who know everything better. Turning a deaf ear to your customers' or users' preferences and use cases and trying to force something down their throat through technical means will invoke resistance and is ultimately doomed to failure. Either people will be begrudged by this arrogance and simply turn away or they will find creative technical means to work around the limitations with results which are usually not too pretty. It's sort of what currently happens with GNOME 3 and it's almost exactly the same when back in 2008 some Sun engineers declared the new IPS packaging system on Solaris a "no scripting zone", in fact the similarities in the sorrounding debates are striking. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
