You're not. While I'm loathe to use words like underhanded, I certainly |
| 11 |
don't like the direction things are taking with systemd. I'm not |
| 12 |
defending them, but I don't see this as their fault. The potential for |
| 13 |
breakage was always there, their way of dong things just found it sooner. |

We''ll just have o disagree on his relevance here. the problem is that |
| 20 |
the split is arbitrary, there is no clear definition of what is and is |
| 21 |
not needed at boot time for all systems, and that is going to lead to |
| 22 |
incorrect decisions made with the best of intentions (not that I am |
| 23 |
accusing the previously mentioned of having those). |
