Certainly, that trend has been well established. What is troubling are all of the other distributions who treat it as fate accompli. My hope is that Devuan, Slackware, and other distributions that have staked out a position that seeks to maintain the traditional stack will maintain enough traction so that application writers won't adopt only SD APIs at the expense of anything else. I'll admit, there was one trick that SD did that I liked, and that was starting CUPS only when there was a call to print. I don't print often so bringing up CUPS on demand and then shutting it down later was nice. But then, SD was running all the time, so not much was gained. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
