SysV was only released in 1983 (and even after that time there were alternatives - the BSDs never adopted this approach to system initialisation).so let it be 28 years nowStill way too old ... technology has advanced a lot in the past 28 yearsthis is poor argumentation which too many peopole follow unreflectedIts not any poorer then "it has been like that for 28 years so don't dare to change it". Where the sole reason for this kind of arguments seem to be "I can't/don't want to learn anything new" ... which is really tiresome. Working with technology like this requires change and / or learning something new at some point. You cant just get used to one thing and think you can stick to that for the rest of your life. I know it is very frustrating to me when stuff that worked now all of sudden doesn't because somebody decided that we have better, faster, newer way of doing things so lets do it! Sound in fedora a few years ago under went this exact scenario and it took a couple of releases for me before it became somewhat stable again. --
