That'd would severely limit our technical options and hold Linux back unnecessarily. If Debian cares about those kernels, it's on them to provide support for it. Note however, that Upstart doesn't work on those other kernels either and similar to us has little interest in supporting it. Note that nothing stops Debian to ship systemd on Linux by default and provide SysV compatibility scripts for the other OSes. Now that udev is a part of systemd, I'd say that udev is also linux only. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
