And the implied statement in this statement is that there has not been public deliberation. FACT: there has been, lots of it. systemd is a widely discussed topic, there have been articles on LWN, there is the systemd-for-admins PDF, and there has been no shortage of related traffic here and on other lists.
I haven't seen much discussion of the technical merits of systemd on any of the opensuse lists. Late last year it was mentioned that it could be tested (I remember trying it out), but that's about it.
Personally as a desktop/laptop user of openSUSE [and openSUSE is *the* platform I use] and as a professional LINUX administrator.... systemd is long overdue. Control of modern systems through a stack of shell scripts is a dreadful, tedious, and prone-to-failure hack.
Despite which it hasn't caused much of an issue here for the last ten-or-so years. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (24.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
