The handbook already details multiple alternatives. So, you aren't |
| 13 |
arguing to preserve the status quo, but rather to remove options. |

And that was Michał's point which he didn't come outright and say. |

You seem happy to have only one alternative in the handbook, because |
| 20 |
you're just assuming it is the alternative you happen to prefer. As I |
| 21 |
posted elsewhere a few days ago (perhaps in this thread) the problem |
| 22 |
with picking just one option is that we all get to fight WW3 over |
| 23 |
which option it ends up being. I don't see any value in that. If we |
| 24 |
really duked it out the one easy-to-install option in the handbook |
| 25 |
might just turn out to be systemd, and I'm sure we'd hear no end of |
| 26 |
complaining about it. And I'd be among those complaining because |
| 27 |
there is simply no reason to dictate that everybody install Gentoo the |
| 28 |
same way since the flexibility is basically the whole point of what |
| 29 |
we're doing. |
