Additionally, as a Debian Developer, I am pretty happy that I don't need to write, debug and maintain init scripts any more. Continuing sysv support means having to write, debug and maintain init scripts AND systemd units. I would not like having to do this, it's a waste of my valuable time. Greetings Marc P.S.: I am not a systemd fanboi, but I clearly see the advantages of Debian's decisions and would rather not revisit those. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | " Questions are the | Mailadresse im Header Rhein-Neckar, DE | Beginning of Wisdom " | Nordisch by Nature | Lt.
