In poor light a dog can look look a wolf. Do you cry "wolf!" or use a flashlight? Personally I'm in favour of light. Some others prefer heat. Anyway, this horse is dead, time to stop beating it. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Clear communication is also a good thing. Perhaps the words "[D]rops the Debian-specific support for ... in favour of using systemd" were not the best choice of words to summarize something that was "not a sysvinit-specific change" or to communicate that "this change is completely initsystem agnostic". In fact, the change itself was actually fine, but a summary like "in favour of using systemd" will provoke a strong negative reaction on DNG because those words don't mean "initsystem agnostic" to most DNG readers.
