Ridiculous. Forget about Canek's rant... |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
This is about *choice*. Also, I would argue the *opposite of what Canek |
| 8 |
is saying in this last rant... |

If he and other want systemd profiles, let *them* do the work of |
| 11 |
creating and maintaining them. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
All the Gentoo Council would have to do is make this a new rule or part |
| 14 |
of the Gentoo Constitution or whatever guidelines govern things like this: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
"In keeping with Gentoo's Official Policy of providing maximum choice to |
| 17 |
its user base, we hereby authorize this formal process for nominating, |
| 18 |
creating, and maintaining new profiles that make use of the new systemd |
| 19 |
init system." |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
And the number of profiles wouldn't even quite double. There are 16 now, |
| 22 |
if each and every one had a systemd counter-part, it would add 12 more. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
So, as systemd users create the new profiles, instead of: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
# eselect profile list |
| 27 |
Available profile symlink targets: |
| 28 |
[1] default/linux/amd64/13.0 * |
| 29 |

You would also have to require package maintainers to support both |
| 79 |
profiles, unless the upstream package itself changed such that it would |
| 80 |
no longer work without systemd. |
