We have to see it for what it is. Lennart Pottering and his acolytes who work within other projects are essentially forking Gnu/Linux and are creating LennartOS.
What should be done is to follow their often spoken refrain: fork every project that relies on systemd, xyzkit, LennartStuff: create X.org-concrete (if they go the Lennart way (there's a patch now!)) KDE-concrete, Gnome2 Gnome3-concrete. Security fixes would be applied, as-well as legitimate bug fixes (all these are often one to three liners). Otherwise the software would mostly retain its form. Something familiar, mature, stable. Remember: Software is much more an art form than a science. The way it interacts is a choice not a foregone conclusion. Lennart and his followers use the fallacy that software is a science to bully all of us into following their direction. A fork of (all but) linux is need now, it's already happening on Lennart's Side. We had better meet them in kind and protect our software system or be subsumed. *Those who want lennartOS could install package-lennart. **Those who want Gnu/Linux would install package or package-concrete. ***When positions are irreconcilable, and paths diverge, a fork is necessary. ***This is the case here. We need not our universe to be pulled out from ***under us. We don't need conquering to the Lennart Way, just as the men ***of pakistan, afghanistan, iraq, appaplachia, japan, do not need conquering ***to the UK/american way. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
