Sorry, but the flamewar was not started by me but by all of the systemd fanboys who also infiltrated initscripts with those crappy systemd-tools which make the boot process slower, more error-prone and more instable, not only because of this systemd-cryptsetup and its new syntax. I always said, keep systemd totally optional and keep initscripts as they have been (without this systemd(-tools) crap), and you won't have any problems, no discussions and totally no flamewar. So it was your decision. So don't blame me. And, btw., I was really not the loudest one in this flamewar. And I always said that it sometimes can be worth thinking about what I say, even if I don't always give exact technical proof. And you also should know that the GDR doesn't exist anymore. Btw., I think you can imagine that I know how to get a new e-mail address. Without wanting to be offensive. But you really should think before threatening people. And I don't let myself being threatened. Sorry to have to get rude now. You of all people here should know that I'm usually not, and that one can talk to me. If you can't live with other people's opinions it's your problem, not mine. > You are a grown man (at least you look like one), so you should know > that this kind of post adds nothing to the discussion, but starts yet > another flamewar. Start acting like a grown man and keep it to > yourself, unless you have something to say that's worth saying. I had and have something to say and I did that. And I did that like a grown up. And that had not only but also technical reasons. If you think you should ignore the people who are totally concerned about Poetterix then you have to live with those consequences. And again, I was definitely not the one who made the most noise. But I and all the other people who criticized systemd have always been asked to give technical proof without giving technical proof for systemd's superiority. Now you really don't need to wonder that you get corresponding comments. > I am completely against banning people, but at this point, it is > either banning people or shutting down this list entirely. Then you should think at least twice about both. Both won't stop this discussion. And think this mailing list is not the only mailing list with such a long discussion about systemd. Why? Because it is crap, not only in Arch Linux. Even if you don't want to hear this, but PA and systemd are both crap. E.g. why does a logfile need to be in an unreadable binary form so that the logfile can only be read with an additional tool instead of just cat, less and grep? And why does everything need to be written into one single log file? And meanwhile I tested both, PA and systemd. And no, I don't file bug reports for crappy software I totally don't want to have anyway. But don't worry. As soon as I find a systemd free Arch Linux like alternative to Arch Linux I will switch to it. It's a pity, because Arch Linux was actually and could still be one of the best distros until you started switching to systemd. There's a reason why I'm using Arch Linux for about 5 years now. Heiko
