As far as I read, the problem is with bluetooth keyboards? and some |
| 34 |
other devices and locales, which are minor for this decision of |
| 35 |
removing supportability. Especially for servers and for most of |
| 36 |
workstations. Most sane configuration can be supported with separate |
| 37 |
/. |

|
| 39 |
And of course there is the hidden systemd agenda, which is what I |
| 40 |
suspect had more impact. |
