And that's what I'm suggesting. Before making this the default in systemd, the systemd developers should come up with a way for processes to make some type of notification, and then get patches into the common things (screen and tmux at least, with freely-licensed example code for others to use) to handle this. Only then should the default be changed. Flipping the switch and saying everybody has to change their behavior to match is rude. Working with people to transparently handle very common work processes is much more acceptable. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
