Probably because enterprise customers tend to be behind the curve already. I know the engineers we support are even further behind because the tools they're using are behind even where we'd like to be. When the first moves to bring out "Enterprise Linux" distros started, the big EDA ISVs we work with (Synopsys, Cadence, etc) thought the 18 month time-frames being discussed then were too fast. If you can believe it. The SLE12 (and RH7.x) stuff is another special case though because our internal CM systems needed to be updated to handle the big change that systemd was, but still work on the older stuff as well. We didn't get that to the point where we could test with our namespaces until SP1 had come out. We're the/a customer that raised this issue BTW. We have pretty huge direct maps that have been working fine for quite a few years, until the /etc/mtab symlink. Our large maps and heavy autofs usage has led us into breaking it in many... "interesting" ways over the years that helped the Suse guys get patches upstream that benefit everyone though, so there's that. -- Mike Marion-Unix SysAdmin/Sr. Staff IT Engineer-http://www.qualcomm.com Homer: "Oh..
