FWIW, I'm totally on board with the idea of not switching to systemd in F15 --- and even if I wanted to do that, it's pure luck that the problem doesn't apply to F14->F15 upgrades as well, where such an option is certainly not available. The reason F14 escapes the problem is that we went to a new mysql major release series in F15, something that happens maybe once every three years or so. (The last-minute upgrade to postgresql 9.1.x in F16 is likewise the only reason why I'm not bitching about this with respect to postgresql too. And I suspect a whole lot of other packagers are up against similar issues, or will be if they take back-branch maintenance seriously.) What I want is a packaging guideline that doesn't simply blow off the problem of upgrading packages in pre-systemd branches. It's not an acceptable restriction, and I'm astonished that anybody ever thought it would be. regards, tom lane
