Don't confuse facts and opinions. You seem to be labouring under the assumption
that your opinions are "right" and everyone who disagrees, or is yet to get
involved, is misinformed.
but otherwise have no reason to think something could change so drastically
with Debian stable release. ;-)
It's not yet clear that the init system *will* change for upgrades.
Which, by the way, is a central issue:
- will it or won't it change? Along with:
- will users be given a choice between sysvinit and systemd during
install, or will retaining current configurations become an increasing
chore?
- will sysvinit continue to be supported or not?
- will sysvinit compatibility be partial or complete?
Perhaps there'd be less heat, if there were more light as too what
commitments are really being made to backward compatibility. Somehow
"it's all good," and "wait and see" are not sufficient answers. Some of
us have been around the block enough times to see the cliff that lies
ahead of us, and raise our voices. Pollyannaish responses are getting
the responses they deserve.
