What "choice" aspect? Surely you aren't going to make the "Linux is about choice" argument are you? > And dammit, I want my choice. I want to be able to choose what I'm > running.

Oh crap, you went there :) Take a look at http://www.islinuxaboutchoice.com/ please. And yes, you can take Linux (the kernel) and do whatever you want with it (look at Android for an example of no existing userspace code, just the kernel and everything else new for a "choice".) You have to trust someone to help make your system work together in a unified way. If you can't trust your distro's engineers, then either start your own distro, or only run busybox on top of a kernel. You really don't have much other "choice" than that :) So stop making this discussion be about "oh those horrid systemd developers, I don't want their code as my init system" as that's not what any of this is about at all. It's about the patches being proposed, and the API involved in it. Please stick to that. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
