I am all for finding a solution that works, but I don't think it's
as easy as "the standards are slow, so let's just forge ahead with
mdadm only and give them something to standardise".
I wouldn't mind avoiding all the bikeshedding, and maybe it'll just
work, but having to change things later might possibly be a lot of
trouble ? after all, we don't want to break people's systems then.
I don't think so. Once it's all set up, any future change should be no
more than a coordinate package update cycle where initscripts, mkinitrd,
dracut, and a few other select packages that use the locations are all
updated simultaneously.
The key words in the above are: 'select packages' & 'simultaneously' .
How is the community of linux distributors going to accomplish this ?
Heck some of the distributors don't even use the same names for packages
that do exactly the same thing .
The Simultainity is going to hurt alot more than is mentioned here .
But that said , the idea of a /'name' area for this is imo a very good
thing . Rather hiding it below others .
