Thank you, I think so too. |

It's not an appeal to the "majority". I don't care what the "majority" |
11 |
of Linux users wants... in the first place because there is no |
12 |
reliable way to measure such thing, and in the second place because I |
13 |
think an admin with dominion over 100 systems, his opinion should have |
14 |
more weight than the high school student that it's learning Linux. |

I care about technical arguments (which this thread has been |
17 |
*incredibly* lacking, except for the failed attempts to call a |
18 |
"philosophy" a technical argument), and the opinion of experts on the |
19 |
subject. |

|
21 |
And more than that, even, I care about code. Talk is cheap; coding is |
22 |
hard. Look at the git repositories, and basically all the answers that |
23 |
you want are there. |

Finally, I know you didn't specifically said it was me, but I want to |
26 |
make something clear: I've *never* in this thread said that anyone was |
27 |
stupid or "holding back" progress. I said that the anonymous author |
28 |
from boycottsystemd.org was either spreading FUD or ignorant, but I |
29 |
presented proof of why it's blatantly false that GNOME has a hard |
30 |
dependency on systemd. Here are the links again: [1], [2]. |
