Read the rest of the thread and the archives. Both suggestions have |
14 |
been discussed and they're not practical. Your first suggestion was |
15 |
specifically rejected by the council. Your second one was suggested |
16 |
only yesterday in this very same thread. |

There is no such thing as a "normal Gentoo user." About the closest |
22 |
you'll come is a hypothetical Gentoo user who doesn't touch |
23 |
/etc/portage. I suspect that the time will be approaching soon that |
24 |
there will be more development/testing targeting systemd than OpenRC |
25 |
on Gentoo. I'm sure the default will remain as-is for a long-time. |
26 |
For how many years was the typical developer running OpenRC while the |
27 |
typical user was running baselayout 1? |

The goal is to make systemd a first class citizen in Gentoo, nothing |
30 |
more. Developers will not be required to run it, or test on it, just |
31 |
as they aren't required to run or test on OpenRC or FreeBSD (two other |
32 |
first-class citizens in Gentoo). |

If you don't want unit files installed, just use INSTALL_MASK as |
35 |
endorsed by the Council. Ditto for docs, or init.d files, or |
36 |
whatever. |
