About Minimalism: Minimalism of effort should be practised to not tie too much capacity to an already unwelcome problem. Being in a niche already filled by plenty: The freedom not to use SystemD architecture should be preserved for Debian, too, and I think this justifies the effort. Please remember we are no "sworn enemies of SystemD", of the project, its members or contributors or the motivations, ideas or even intentions it tries to implement. Having worked as an admin, the idea of having services that always have manageable state, because there is a "system" in place that enforces that they are, has appeal. But if the price for that is that instead of a messy service management I have a completely messed up userspace, entangled into a single megaproject where some remote business entity decides on "supported ways" of getting things done, I rather choose not to. I have such systems at my disposal already and don't need Linux to become one more of those. Kind regards, tilt. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
