It is not like if we didn't switch to systemd this problem wouldn't exist. (which was my point re "blaming"). >> I am not seeing any bad effects here ...

Sure but then suggest alternatives just doing nothing is not a solution either. This feature also allows updates to be applied in a well defined state and use btrfs snapshots to make sure that everything works even if the upgrade got aborted by a crash, power failure etc. (rpm transactions are not ACID so you end up in an undefined state in that case). -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
