One concern I'd have is the lack of flexibility to produce a cut-down system. The option of "a dedicated init=/custom-program", but lack of an ntpd, for example, because ntp has been absorbed into systemd's orbit and other ntpd's bitrotted.
I'm heartened that some developers are doing the work to make non-systemd remain a viable option in debian, but for it not to degenerate into "the systemd way / the less maintained and tested non-systemd way", we need to promote the APIs and preserve them. > > - Josh Triplett > > - Alastair -- Alastair McKinstry, <alast...@sceal.ie>, <mckins...@debian.org>, https://diaspora.sceal.ie/u/amckinstry Misentropy: doubting that the Universe is becoming more disordered. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
