No. The promise was that package maintainers won't be pushed into replacing init scripts by systemd unit files. In other words, that what you plan now woudn't happen. For the record, I never believed this promise; but I would really like to be wrong.
Now why really we should do it: * Using native syntax of the system we use should help us avoid corner cases which are even with best effort somewhere.
That's just an empty phrase without any actual technical point. Quite the contrary, forcing the replacement is what would bring unnecessary risk of regressions. Again, in reasonable projects, people need to have good reasons _for_ a change, not "we change it because we find it cool, unless you bring strong reasons to keep things as they are".
Overall you didn't present any really valid reason for not doing it so here are the ones I am thinking about:
We did. You just decided to ignore them. I wonder if there ever was anything anyone could say to stop you from going on with your plan. Michal Kubeček -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
