And that, right there, is my problem with it. It appears to have a
stupidly high Bus Factor; if Lennart gets hit by a truck, *no one* knows
how their machines boot. And since that's my stock in trade commercially,
it makes me really really nervous.
And of course, since distros have switched to it wholesale, *developers and
packagers aren't /maintaining/ their initscripts anymore*, so you cannot
simply ignore it and install sysVinit yourself; they're even *taking those
scripts out of the packages*.
Which seems more than a little bit evil to me.
Deprecate it, sure. Warn it might need tuning, fine. Put "exit 1" at the
top of the script, great.
But *deleting it from the package*? No; that's beyond the pale.
But apparently, Lennart's snozzberries are *really* tasty...
Cheers,
