Define "completely independent". It is not true. Spacewalk use it. As it use apache. And tomcat. And jabber. Pierre is not first one, who wanted this feature, and will not be the last one. I - personally - would not spent my devel cycles on it, but Pierre is willing to do that and contribute it. We recommend to run Spacewalk on dedicated machine. And I suppose that most users obey this recommendation. So if there is DB instance, it is very likely dedicated to Spacewalk. But yes, it can be used for other purposes as well. For that reason, I wanted to have this option disabled by default. So current behavior will be preserved. > If for some reason (what reason, exactly?) you need to restart > everything with one script, why not write a wrapper around it? As I said, more user already wanted it. And it is much easier and better for users to code this wrapper once, and leave dozen admins to flip one variable as compared to leave dozens admins to write theirs wrapper. You can easily say, why we have spacewalk-repo-sync, when everybody can write wrapper around rhnpush? Well - it make life much easier.
