Yes, it's pointless. You are arguing that os-release is bad because lsb-release was bad. It's like arguing against TOML file format because YAML and JSON have issues. os-release was purposely designed to address concerns with lsb-release. os-release has been around for more than a decade and wildly adopted (except on Android platforms). The format hasn't changed since its first appearance in November 2010. Some optional fields were standardized and the meaning of "no shell features are supported" was elaborated on. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue28468> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
