so the question then becomes: at a fundamental level (in a
distro-agnostic way) how to go about giving people a proper
choice (to
run systemd and associated components, or not)?
And why would their unpaid selves go to the bother? Those that DO
get paid, are jumping on systemd with both feet. Clearly there
must be advantage to do so, so they do it. Simple. It computes.
What you suggest means more work for people who do not get paid,
and that doesn't compute. Not even a little. If I were a
computer, I would have a segfault now. :) Ric
I suspect that more describes an effect rather than a cause.
The roots of *nix are are in Unix.
Unix was, at least in part, a response to need for a "large"
number of persons to access an expensive resource - a CPU.
A side effect was breeding geeks , errrr... support staff ;)
When hardware costs fell, those fascinated by a new field could
afford to explore.
Now, instead of a computer occupying a building, I have four
computers on my desk and one in the glove-box of my car.
Computer OWNERS are now much more diverse. My parents knew Model
T's and travel to the moon. Times change.
