I suppose Steve is still hoping that we can get enough user-level support for shoving back against the freedesktop.org/gnome/systemd crowd within debian. Just because the technical committee made one stupid decision doesn't mean they can't have second thoughts. So it is debian-user on topic, so there. > While systemd is 100% a Linux thing, it's hardly a Debian-specific thing. > It's way better suited to the OT list. Which, you know, is why it was > created. No, the off-topic list was for talking about off-topic stuff that is incidental to debian discussions. The only way the appropriateness of systemd in debian is off-topic is if systemd has already become the replacement kernel in Linux. (We know they are trying hard at that, but it hasn't happened yet.) > [...] Let me repeat myself, if you don't get it yet. This is not the Fedora list. The only way a planned integral part of the post-jessie debian systems can become off-topic is if discussing removing it becomes equivalent to discussing removing the kernel.
