Hopefully more packages (upstream) will eventually allow both consolekit and systemd support to be compiled in, and the choice be made at runtime. Ok, makes sense. I can totally live with ConsoleKit for now, just wanted to make sure that you developer know about these "issues". Kind of stupid from me to assume that you do not ;).
I think the current state of affairs is fairly well summed up here: <https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2012-April/022803.html>. Thanks. Again, seems to make sense for now.
No decision has been made, or even discussed, regarding wether or not to switch entirely to systemd. My intention is to keep supporting the "double track" until either initscripts or systemd dies a natural death due to lack of testers, but maybe others have other plans. We will see. Ok.
In the meantime I (and others) have put quite some effort into making sure that the configuration files of systemd and initscripts are interchangeable. As well as replacing a lot of the initscripts code by calls to systemd tools. This should make any transition as pain-free as possible. Yeah, once again, thanks!
The only thing left on my TODO is to rework our crypttab syntax (if you follow arch-projects I'll post an RFC in the coming days). I'm following arch-projects now, although I'm not using crypttab with this system, I'm using it with another one. So probably this will affect me.
Thanks for your fast and competent reply. Thanks to all the others who have replied also! Best regards, Karol Babioch
