Hi, everyone! =)
With all this discussion about changes, I'd like to make sure that the
UNIX guru/programmer is represented. I've mentioned this before, and
I
hate repetition - BUT - I feel it is important enough that it should
be
stated separately so that it is not overlooked. All this discussion
about replacing defaults concerns me that someone might inadvertently
break some standards that they are unfamiliar with. Yes, before
anyone
says anything, I already know that Linux does not entirely comply with
POSIX standards, and deliberately breaks it in places.
I just do not want to see any "Linuxisms" and breakage compounded
further. Systemd everywhere is bad enough. When I say that, I am not
saying that Systemd breaks POSIX. It technically doesn't. It does,
however, break scripts on occasion; in spite of arguments by the
systemd developers that does not. I'm hoping that Devuan does not
make
similar mistakes while moving in a different direction.
I do not think anyone cares WHAT the default changed to is as long as
Devuan has vi and other "old school" tools installed by default to
comply with the POSIX standard.
Thanks and have a wonderful day!
T.J.

All changes are evaluated only if they will make devuan equally or
more posix/unix compliant, not less.
Nice to know that.
