Hi all, as systemd is now our default initsystem the current status of initscripts is a little vague. The problem is not the initscripts package itself but rc.d files and support in other packages. It is unrealistic to think we can support two different init systems. Testing on both systems is too much hassle and we already see packages that require systemd or are configured to use it by default. We never announced if and when using initscripts will get unsupported. Users don't know when they should migrate to systemd. I assume that initscripts based system will run into more and more issues over time; things will slowly fall apart. Ir will also be unnecessary hard for users to maintain an initscripts repo outside the official repos. Therefor we should define some dates when initscripts are no longer supported and rc.d (and maybe conf.d) scripts will be removed from packages. Random example: * Publish an announcement with the said dates and a link to a migration guide * Support for initscripts can be dropped e.g. end of December. After that packages may drop support; but not before. * rc.d scripts and other related files should be removed by end of January. This makes it easier for third party repos to provide a package containing all the rc scripts. Similar to what we had before systemd got officially supported. What do you think?
