As Chris mentioned earlier - consider a battery-powered system, which will just wait for the password until the battery discharges completely. This behaviour simply isn't sensible, in my opinion, and - forgive the phrase - smells of "works for us, so why bother?" thinking. > > That doesn't make any sense.

Or while power is connected, and one time booted in Windows, I walk away. Later, as Windows is prone to doing, it wakes up, does updates at 1am and reboots... to an indefinite Plymouth screen, for the entire weekend. Or while I've gone on vacation for a week. There are many or's. And they don't even matter. On the face of it, stopping indefinitely mid-startup should be considered the edge case that requires customization. Not the general use case. I'm not certain it matters, but I'm curious how Windows and macOS deal with this same scenario. I'd be surprised if they just wait forever, in particular if power is disconnected on laptop. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
