systemd discussion

[JB]

Hi,

there is a very interesting discussion on Fedora devel list:

systemd: please stop trying to take over the world :)   Denys Vlasenko 
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-June/152323.html

The poster, Denys Vlasenko, showed an inquiring mind and justified it by asking
very relevant UNIX fundamental and technical questions, thus showing he is
a very knowledgeable person.

I share his concerns about systemd:
- going beyond system init replacement 
- not adhering to UNIX principles (modularity, etc)
- interference with sysadmin duties/decisions to set up the system (e.g.
  loading modules on its own and e.g. enabling sys capabilities and protocols)

To Denys:
Drill, baby, drill :-)
 
There are people on test and user lists who are afraid to even touch F15 ...
and the reasons are systemd, GNOME 3, etc. Things called "progress" ...

I follow the discussion with great interest and so should you all.

JB
