I am aware of that.

Yes, but GNU/Linux is not a "grüne wiese" approach, it is migrating millions of existing systems. Even a classic Unix leaves many things to be hated, but it's just what we are used to, and which is not easily changed. > OTOH, people aren't stupid and when you tell them why a current > behaviour changes and that it's for a better design of the system,.. > they likely can adapt to it. Locking a shell for a two-digit number of seconds in a ordinare usage situation is something I would not want to adapt to even if the underlying system was perfect. > And in general, one cannot stop progress just because there are some > backwards-minded people who never want to have ill-designed things to > change. I fail to see why it is "progress" to save five seconds of shutdown time for the machine while the same change wastes half a minute or more for the human.
