Distribution are integrators that sometimes have to take decisions to ensure stability, reduce complexity and/or reduce exponential test case scenarios. If you want more scenarios to be supported, a distribution needs testing, patches and manpower, if nobody is doing the job, well nothing happens. > > Will the only freedom left be that of not using Linux ? As long as the upstream Linux kernel is not checking whether the PID 1 is a particular process, you have all the freedom you want to fork/create a distribution. And even if it was the case, the code would still be free to read and modify. > > Cheers, > > Ron. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
