I mentioned refusing patches and saying "If you don't like it, fork it" to people who simply wanted udev to BUILD. So that's one distro that got screwed for not using systemd. Because a harmless, simple patch was refused for no reason.

The post basically reads as: We swallowed udev and we can't await to make it not work anymore on anything but systemd.

They may fork logind in the future but there is no force involved here.

Originally posted by pingufunkybeat View PostIsn't it true that patches were turned down with the explanation to the tune of "not running systemd is antiquated"?

I mean, every distro maintaining a fork of systemd goes against the whole idea of "core OS", doesn't it?
