Fair enough, but for this sort of thing, who is 'upstream' ?
In this case the super-ingenious Lennart Poettering, I guess.
I switched to Arch some years ago to get rid of all that Poetterix stuff. It's become near impossible on most distros. If Arch goes the same way, I'll have to look for something else.
Ciao,
I wonder why everyone thinks that Archlinux is about a single config file... It is the same myth as "Arch is faster than distro XYZ" or the "simple BSD init". Arch is about hackability and upstream compliance. AFAICT this is not going away. Besides, archlinux users should be experienced enough to manage 5 config files instead of 1. So if there is a single technical argument to use systemd syntax standard, it should overweigh 10 aesthetic predespositions. Those who have to manage lots of servers and object to the change because of stability arguments, shot themselves in the foot long time ago by merely installing arch... -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key: 0x164B5A6D Fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
