Hi Chris, Are you sure everyone agrees that the hooks are ill-conceived, and are you sure *nobody* is using them? If so, then I apologize for mentioning redis earlier in the thread when I said: ======================================== > If I remember correctly, one reason for > becomig independent was to avoid Debian sabotage like we're appearing > to see now on redis. ======================================== But Chris, please understand, Debian *has* done plenty of sabotage and vandalism in the past, especially but not exclusively with the ramming of systemd down everyone's throat, with no committment to continue to support alternative inits and no committment to keep must-have-systemd holloween code out of Debian-supplied software. In the opinions of many, systemd is in itself a continuing sabotage and vandalism of GNU/Linux. So just like we need to cut you a little slack, you need to cut us a little slack. Starting with the Kangaroo Court bug 727708 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=727708) and proceeding through the last-minute bogus alternative in the General Resolution, Debian has shown malace toward those wanting Linux to remain an OS with interchangeable parts and small, minimally designed inter-component interfaces, and some folks see the Debian project as having no credibility, and defacing the OS as proxies for Poettering and Redhat. Ask around: That opinion isn't Steve Litt's alone. So thanks for letting us know your position and motives: I won't again lump you with the rest of the Debian project, and am sorry I did it the first time.
