But so far, this is not supported. And since we have said we do not remove non systemd from Mageia 2 ( https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/2011-July/006701.html ) , I think we cannot take systemd for granted before mageia 3. And precisely, because we are not gonna keep only systemd for mageia 2, we cannot depreciate network script. > But yes, Fedora will switch and we can follow, but it would be nice to > be at the fore front here if possible. Would we have too much ressources, maybe. But so far, there is already enough work on http://check.mageia.org/ to keep people busy, and I do not really see the need to add more breakage and shiny stuff when we are far from being able to take care of what we already have. -- Michael Scherer
