Well maybe you can gather 100 moronix mobsters and you can fork everything, do unsynchronized releases, add 100 distro specifc patches and try to maintain binary compatibility between 5 kernels, 3 init systems, HAL and alot of other shit out there. GOOD LUCK, but the rest of the world moves to CoreOS. bye!

Of course that all just depends on how much do you think.....

Reliability? Have you used it recently? Originally it had some bugs, sure, but systemd had brought systems up and down without problems since F17's release.
Standardization? It means no more pointless differences in distros configuration files.All opinions are my own not those of my employer if you know who they are.

I'm waging 3 lines of code (after removing empty lines and braces).
That's decimal, btw.

Sanity? It tosses indecipherable shell-scripts out the window.

Reliability? Sure if your running a system that has all the .system files that is needed. But what happens when you install something that doesnt? It happens alot. Not to mention all of the compatibilty problems that is still has. Hell apache2 still doesnt have a reliable .system file.
Standardization? It doesnt work on every distro even still, and then it doesnt work on every hardware that older init system could,. It doesnt work on every kernel that older ones could.
So it removes capability, adds bloat that would be better served as independant subsystems, decreases compatibility, and has more bugs than alternatives... I still don't see the point.
I wouldnt call it a waste of time, clearly there are people who like it better, but it more or less removes redhat and its kin from being used. And also dissappointingly enough even arch.. I liked arch, but this ruined it for me.Last edited by duby229; 28 January 2013, 07:22 PM.

As concerned as we are about software freedom and all that, I'd think people would be at least a bit tentative about having Linux consolidate around 1 or 2 companies. I mean I'm not crazy to think there's a certain risk there, am I?
