But that's the thing: we (you and me) don't see the situation the same way. To me, the proposed changes are for the better. >> I myself think the new technologies are worth to change the way we did >> things before.

You can disagree with the proposed changes, you can argue why you think another approach could be better. But just saying "the implementation of it isn't thought through", is a little insulting to the devs. I think they though about the implementation a lot. >> >> And maybe I shouldn't even mention it, but I don't use OpenRC.

Again, to me is not "breaking it". To me is "improving it". Regards. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Posgrado en Ciencia e Ingeniería de la Computación Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
