If we do decide that a default switch is unsafe for too many systems, then I wouldn't have a problem with, for instance, adding a debconf question to systemd-sysv's preinst which tells people what to do if they don't want systemd for whatever reason. > [ symlink and co-installability ] If technically feasible, that would be a far better safety net (just tell people to boot with init=/sbin/sysvinit if they run into a problem) than an "oh dear, it's so dangerous that we don't even install it by default" message. :-/ -- -- Matthias Urlichs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
