Even though I am a bit late due to seasonal commitments, I would like to affirm a strong rejection of this change for the server variant on behalf of the server WG. The proposed limit of 15 secs is much to aggressiv, also the proposal of 30 seconds. Unfortunately, we do not have data on how long on average it takes for a productive server shutdown to terminate all VMs (with their own delays), all open database transactions, all service sessions, etc. But obviously the current time interval does not cause any striking problems. and is therefore OK for server. For a production server, a shutdown is a rare event and the main problem is not a period of 30 sec or 2 min, but the shutdown itself. And server admins are terribly conservative (and cautious) people, never change a working system unless there is a clear advantage. And this proposal brings no advantage at all for servers, only potential problems. It is a good idea to make the timeout configurable. But the default timeout for servers must remain unchanged. -- Peter Boy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pboy p...@fedoraproject.org Timezone: CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2) Fedora Server Edition Working Group member Fedora docs team contributor and board member Java developer and enthusiast _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
