The potential problem I see with changing the default behavior of systemd is that it is non-intuitive and could be potentially harmful if the user is not aware of it. Consider the following example. I routinely use screen when I connect to the systems I manage remotely specifically when I try to apply updates. I do this because if my VPN connection or my Internet connection is interrupted, the update process will not die with my login session. Incidentally, I learned to use screen when applying updates the hard way many years ago when a killed update wreaked havoc with a system of mine and I found screen to be an excellent solution.Yes, and to make things worse, many systems with elevated security/sensitivity enforce idle session timeout that just looks at keyboard activity---so they tend to abort long-running jobs, such as updates. |
