The key difference is that until this year all packages worked on all init systems (as in you could start any service or application with any init system as PID 1, even with "init=/bin/sh"). The fact that the regression is introduced by an architectural decision of systemd developers to tightly integrate system level services into the init system (and not by a decision in Debian) causes the feeling of loss of control. Then asking others to implement init-system-neutral versions of systemd-invented services just to keep using software that used to work before is ... raising some hackles. -- Best regards, Aigars Mahinovs mailto:aigar...@debian.org #--------------------------------------------------------------# | .''`.
