Yes, I agree that this is relevant. > > Also relevant is the response from systemd upstream to the request to > > support this protocol as an option.

For me, Zbigniew's response shows where this approach leads and I don't find it attractive. I found Lennart's comments tendentious and his complaint about an admin's potential use of SIGSTOP (during startup) unconvincing (and easily resolved by the use of (say) SIGTTOU instead). I don't see the merit in extensibility; or rather, I think that there is room in the world for a non-extensible but trivial protocol. (And there are other potential simple protocols which would be more extensible.) Ian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
