I think i made my point that forking will not help the issue. I am telling you that by all the technical discussions which of the systems is superior over the other you forget about your users. My estimation is that 99% of the users dont care - sysvinit is sufficient and works. 0.5% think they need this little tiny bit of feature which only upstart can give them, 0.5% think they need a feature only systemd can give them. By following either of the 0.5% "majority" you piss off 50% because their beloved sysvinit which has been doing what it should for decades is gone. And i think i made the point that the voice who said "fork debian" is just telling you in their way that Debian has lost another supporter. Debian - The Universal operating system whose priority are their users? The systemd issue has gone out of proportion by far - Its a technical issue which is getting debated over a lot. But i think the systemd proponents have made a much broader issue from it which is now about trust, choice, and taste. You cant win here. Flo PS: I talking about Debian as "you" because i dont feel beeing part of Debian anymore. -- Florian Lohoff f...@zz.de
