I don't want to keep the old cruft around forever.
Sure, but this is not a case of you having to decide between "do the old thing forever" or "break it now". Do it as: 1. Leave /etc/inittab functionally as it is in Fed-13, with 3 and 5 doing the obvious thing and the big comment saying stuff about systemd instead of upstart. If people want to opt. in to "the new way" they can just cp /dev/empty /etc/inittab. 2. For F-15 or F-16 change inittab to be: id:default:initdefault: ...and have anaconda write that out and configure using a symlink instead. Users can still change it to 3 or 5, or whatever ... but if they don't it'll work as though inittab doesn't exist (the "new" way). 3. At some point you remove support for parsing inittab, so people have to configure using symlinks ... some people will still not like you removing free compat. code, but assuming you wait a few years at least "everything" will support "the new way". -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
