Being on the list hasn't done me any favors in terms of knowing |
| 18 |
architectural plans are to be made. I personally want to believe systemd |
| 19 |
will always be optional but I wouldn't rely on that since it's not my |
| 20 |
call but I understand that it would have to be fairly mutual amongst |
| 21 |
other maintainers. I was hoping this e-mail would find some of those |
| 22 |
people. |

| 24 |
I remember a time when devfs support was dropped from Gentoo in favor of |
| 25 |
udev. I don't remember why but it seems udev is on everything now.. |
| 26 |
sound familiar? It wasn't that big of a switch for me.. I think there |
| 27 |
might have been maybe one or two packages that it affected that I cared |
| 28 |
about. On the other hand, today I am a bit more saavy than back then and |
| 29 |
I don't really feel like systemd offers anything that I want and it |
| 30 |
seems to be followed by a lot of security problems that I don't need. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I don't want to perpetuate ignorance, so correct me if I'm wrong. It |
| 33 |
seems like for me specifically to switch to systemd would mean to take |
| 34 |
on a lot more complexity than I need if I'm already happy with what I've |
| 35 |
got? Asides from where systemd is useful outside of cgroups for |
| 36 |
virtualization I fail to understand how process accounting is useful in |
| 37 |
any other context except for "multi-user" environments--public shell |
| 38 |
servers? I guess I'll have to do some more reading to understand. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
It's just nice to know what I have to look forward to in advance. I have |
| 41 |
a friend who seems certain that systemd is inevitable despite being |
| 42 |
satisfied with openrc. Not trying to troll or force ignorant/zealous |
| 43 |
issues. |
