Hmm...I don't know.As someone said/wrote today...with the current computer
specs,
nobody (users and programmers) really cares in these days,about speed and
footprint,
about size and sharing,etc...
It's a bad practice -if you ask me- and anything we can do to show that *We
Care*,
it really worths the effort.
So,Dan,I applaud your efforts and anyone else that cares and contributes with
ideas/patches
about speeding the booting process,whatever that means -
Parallelizing the bootscripts? -
Using dash instead of bash? -
Using an alternative init system? Upstart?
I would like to see some more patches/commits on this,but the question is where?
In the development branch?I don't think so.
The way I see it,the dev branch is too stable to start experiments with it.
Even in 4.{2,3} gcc releases,there are not really so many changes that will
break it.
As it has been proposed in the past,a permanent experiment branch,it would help
us a lot
to speed and stabilize the development process,in nearly every aspect,before we
start
merge some serious changes such those.
