I deleted my first reply. But you've twice used this argument and
I'm afraid I can't let it pass.
I find this common argument execrable. It seems to suggest that if
I don't accept and embrace the new things that you do, I'm somehow a
Luddite or my thinking is backwards. Is all your money in bitcoins
yet?
I run CentOS because I want stability. It works and I know how to
work it. When something like this is changed, there is an opportunity
cost for having to figure out how to get it back to the way I want it
to be (compare to recent issues with Mozilla Chrome, uh, Firefox 29).
In the aggregate, how much time will be wasted by admins getting this
to work when 7 comes out?
Cheers,
Zube
