Unless you think sane != secure. so this is the official announcment that the vanilla-style-do-it-yourself for professional engineers and manual readers is no more, and that in future there will be rather debian-style-out-of-the-box solutions for those who want it to "just work" ? I'm fine with that new way. I'm going to look for a different distro then instead of having to unpatch more and more packages. I just would like to have a clear signal finally. The back and forth between those different styles is really painfull for somone who has to actually maintain a few dozens of machines. I guess you can run your systems easy and secure with the debian style, but you have to have a different kind of personality then me. thanks -- best regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Arvid Ephraim Picciani
