It's not realistic for a maintainer to continuously test against 13 architectures (including three different kernel trees) either. So we don't do that and instead let maintainers make their best effort when packaging, expect them to test locally, and then rely on porters and users to report bugs when there are problems. > it's not realistic for a porter to continously test startup > scripts for thousands of packages. It's reasonable to semi-continuously test installation scripts for thousands of packages -- that's what piuparts does, and we have sponsored cloud resources to support that. It seems like that would be fairly straightforward to duplicate for testing packages with alternative init systems.
