Ridiculous. Forget about Canek's rant...
This is about *choice*. Also, I would argue the *opposite of what Canek is
saying in this last rant...
Tanstaafl, can we please not use terms like "rants"? I'm just giving
my opinion, trying to be respectful and civil to the others
participants in this thread. I would appreciate if you do the same to
me.
Sorry, Canek, no offense was intended, but if you go back and re-read
your 'extremely overly enthusiastic' post (this plus the content is why
I referred to it as a 'rant'), while I agree with most everything you
said, your primary point - that it should be the people who *don't* want
systemd doing all of the work - was backwards, and that was what I
wanted to point out.
So, please, don't take it as an insult. In fact you have done a very
good job of patiently spelling out the advantages of systemd, to the
point I'm no longer afraid of it taking over and devouring the linux world.
That said, in reality, there is (or should be) nothing inherently
insulting about a claim that something you (or anyone) says was a
'rant'. Pretty much everyone I know who has strong opinions on things
like this rants all the time. Sometimes those rants have more
value/substance than others. A good rant will provide lots of
substantive supporting documentation backing up the claims in the rant.
A bad rant just makes a bunch of baseless claims and/or personal attacks.
Bottom line: since Gentoo's default and primary init system is (and
hopefully will be for a very long time) OpenRC, it is on the systemd
folks to do the work to get systemd fully supported.
