Naturally, I have no idea whether someone on a desert island is using them so that is an unfair question. However, I have not heard of anyone using them (even when they were buggy) and they are not only Debian-specific, there are much cleaner, and uniform (ie. across all possible daemons) ways of doing such things. > > If I remember correctly, one reason for > > becomig independent was to avoid Debian sabotage like we're appearing > > to see now on redis. This is not sabotage. I'm afraid I am running out of energy to expend on this issue, especially when there seems to be a non-trivial amount of bad faith on this list and I appear to have to repeat myself here and on the Github issue that this has absolutely nothing to do with systemd etc. > So just like we need to cut you a little slack, you need to cut us a > little slack.
