Yup, hence my final comment. However, I suspect that the |
| 10 |
multitude-of-init-systems is going to be a somewhat temporary |
| 11 |
condition for a few years, and after that with the amount of vertical |
| 12 |
integration everybody is pushing one may win out. If that happens, |
| 13 |
we'll all be using whatever that ends up being, regardless of whether |
| 14 |
it is a good match for Prefix. If the world remains heterogeneous |
| 15 |
then most likely Gentoo will remain as such also, and other than all |
| 16 |
the package maintainers having to supply 3 different init scripts for |
| 17 |
their pacakges all will be well for Prefix. |
