Except where they don't, and it's unpredictable where they will break things. They're already broken /etc/resolv.conf several times with back&forth inconsistent replacement of it with a symlink, and they don't seem to understand that establishing a configuraton symlink, controlling the target of it, and failing to keep the symlink established will intermittently break all longstanding network configuration tools. And yes, they are "strongly pressuring" if not forcing" it by migrating core system configurations into the systemd managed "stateless" directories. This already includes system logging and DHCP. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
