Hello, I have a proposal for Arch Linux developers and by mailing on this list I would also appreciate feedback from non-developers that use Arch Linux. Note: I am not here to hate on the current status, nor to disapprove of current Arch choices. [snip]
The big question you have to answer, the one you need to start with, is: Why is it in the Arch dev's interests to maintain two init systems and that much more area for incompatibility, that many more packages and bugs to wrangle? Especially if they are happy using systemd? Nobody could answer that question a few years ago, so the original Arch initscripts were dropped in favour of a systemd-only distro. If you have a serious answer, by all means, present it — but that *is* the stumbling block here. ~Celti
