Debian still supports other init systems in the archive besides systemd. Should ping fail to run on a Debian system that is not using systemd? We also recently ran into a bug with systemd in Ubuntu because the "common sysctl settings among different distributions" that they had added clobbered settings that had been shipped for years already in the Ubuntu procps package. No thank you. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1962038 What would really be a great place for shipping common sysctl settings among different distributions would be in the Linux kernel, instead of diverging from the kernel defaults in userspace and representing this as "common". -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
