Greetings,
Gnome Herd decided to target stablilization of 3.8 [1] which requires
systemd.
What are the reasons to stable 3.8 and not 3.6, a version w/o this
restriction, enabling all non systemd users to profit from this
eye-candy as well.
I raise the freedom of choice card here. And deliberately choosing an
uncooperative version doesn't shine a good light.
People are free to use a saner desktop environment...
/me points to XFCE that will *not* be removing ConsoleKit support, or
require systemd
(however I'm going to append systemd support to 4.10, but the patches
currently available are sub-par and none in upstream git yet)
does anyone know if Cinnamon, MATE, or whatever GNOME forks there are
will keep ConsoleKit support or not?
i'm not volunteering but I never really got why our GNOME maintainers
insisted on staying with it instead of going with the distribution after
it was clear logind is a dead end on non-systemd systemd
