Then the whole discussion is senseless. It's like we have concerns about it, but you do what you want, because you are maintaining it.
You are doing a great job on initscripts, that's clear. But the behaviour isn't ok! Just opening a branch that CAN be merged later despite the concerns of others isn't right. I know, you can delete this branch, if it isn't merged later, but I think we are a team and have discuss and decide several things together.
Sorry for my words, if they sounds a little bit aggressive....
I'm going to jump on this bandwagon for a minute... I just read your concern and it was "I dislike the idea to make it more complex just for eyecandy". Do you or have you ever maintained initscripts? Have you ever submitted a patch or fixed a bug to do with them? If not, then why does it matter how complex something gets if it just works for what you need it to do? The people who do maintain it and fix the bugs *do* want the patch. Who are you to say whether it's too complex for them or not? Why not say, "thank you for writing the patch, I'm sure that lots of people will be very happy that things have become easier for them"? Jason
