Since you must have spoken to "the majority of competant Debian users" to know this... Could you write up a report of exactly what they said please it would be very helpful. Or point to the report you read and "quoted"? If not, then stop with the lies and the FUD. > into Debian.

You seem to think that you wont be able to chose not to use Systemd - so you've not read very much of the debate or done much research. Here is a clue. Systemd will never make it onto the non-linux ports, so there will always be at least one other init available. You will always have a choice. And you could step up to maintain more choice in Debian if you so desired rather than telling other volunteers what to do. That is "the Debian way". > I have been "coding" since the early 80's, so please don't go there with me, > it > doesn't work. I don't care about systemd's capabilities.. that is a mute > point. Perhaps you meant a moot point. A mute point would be very quiet indeed. Lots of other people do care and have said so in this debate. I happen to be one using a lot of the new features to great effect, on desktops.

You have to specific or you'll be accused of FUD. Hand waving and shouting does not count. _Can_ you give more information on how it is overcomplicated? Or unnecessary? Or crap? If not... quit with the lies and the FUD. > As to you initial question about what I would have the developers do..

Could you quote what "the Debian way" is? Are you a DD involved in defining that elusive thing? For _me_ one part of Debian has always to excell in making amazing technology and code available for everyone. Times have changed in twenty years. The linux kernel is not the same as it was in 1991. Computers are not used in the same static ways. Debian has to support a huge range of very dynamic systems now, and sysV just does not cut it. Sure it works _ok_ on static environments - but Debian supports far more than static servers. > Debian has been around almost as long as the Internet itself.. Debian was started in 1993. The internet... try about 1973. Yes Debian is half the age of the internet. It is nearly as old as the Linux kernel, and not that much younger than GNU, but your point is invalidated by lack of truth. > there are a lot > of users out here that don't want to see anyone mess it up! ..Figure out a way > around being stuck having to use udev since it has been co-opted by systemd.. > that would be my first task for you! If you don't want udev, then try Debian Potato. It might make you happy and will forever have sysvinit. And please stop with the FUD and other trolling.
