I am not essentially advocating for alternative init systems, but I am advocating for diversity and not having artificial entry barriers. I have already seen people saying only one dm, only one libc, and so on and so forth. This, in general, comes with a preference for desktop users and for things that just work, even if they are not easy to customize. I'd like that power users (like myself) also keep on use, contribute and feel that fedora is right and welcoming for them.
_Nobody_ has suggested that only one desktop environment or a single window manager should be available in Fedora. Please stick to the facts. The point that you seem to be missing is the fact that there is a huge difference between shipping two window managers and two different init systems. For each init system all packages that provide services would have to maintain different start-up scripts for each init system. I think it is better to test and benchmark the different init systems outside of the main repositories, and when the time is right, and opinions backed by measured results, a new init system can be introduced into Fedora. -- Trond Danielsen -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
