I noted some Sysadmins and upstream developers (folks with a clear stake in the outcome but without DD voting credentials) have promised to Fork if Debian isn't kept usefully Init-neutral. http://debianfork.org/
Normally in voluntary orgs, giving votes to only those doing the work is a good thing -- that's how the (D)ARPAnet RFC process worked even before IETF was codified, and that's why it worked -- but in this particular case, the interests of the upstream & downstream Devs and frontline Sysadmins are being ignored. I don't know what the right answer is, but i know it's not one-size-fits-all. If systemd is effectively mandated in all mainstream distros, a fork for at least embedded use will be needed. -- Bill Ricker [email protected] https://www.linkedin.com/in/n1vux _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
