I actually quite appreciate the work that is being done on this issue. When I reboot because I'm forced to because of an update or crash, I want to get back to work as soon as possible, not wander around the house or the office waiting for my computer to restart. Fast booting is especially useful when I bring my laptop to meetings, so I don't keep people waiting to get the thing started. It's not just about the time saved, it's about avoiding frustration and annoyance, which I think is worth the effort. Especially since it does influence people's choice of operating system. -B. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
