Not because it is good software but because the other adequate software that this community depends on is going to require it.
Let me know so I'm aware what the software you have in mind is if it hasn't been mentioned please.
Debian and Ubuntu plus the BSDs make up far more of the user base than the rest put together and has Redhat switched yet?, so when I think about it, I find this unlikely. Programs may need compiling to work with or without systemd which will be annoying as I don't agree with wasting resources building everything in the Gentoo style, though it would be handy.

That's for sure because unless systemd is rewritten I won't ever be using it. Looks like the reply confused you as the response did me, the original mail was saying what software will break without running systemd and that's what I was interested in. Some have mentioned consolekit but that's not even close to a requirement for 99% of users except maybe enterprise. Note, udisks removed highly used by almost all functions for enterprise functions no one used as a priority. Some others like polkit have been mentioned, none of which have been allowed to have any extra rights on my systems for a while. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
