When users that I know stop using it, and that might be a release or two. Meanwhile I think it will be good to address the issues with patches, if they introduce bugs or secvulns that I think will help the user community instead of removing the support. meanwhile, I would think that we can still work slowly towards making things better musl has provided a lot of good cleanup patches for systemd so this is not a wasted effort even if upstream systemd does not officially support anything besides glibc. > The best solution would be if someone would step up to properly maintain > the systemd/musl combination, but usually such "either fix or stop" only > work with a clear deadline. > > cu > Adrian > > -- > > "Is there not promise of rain?"
