Meanwhile, just today another major systemd snafu emerged. If IBM bails on systemd, is s6/s6-rc ready to take its place? I mean we all know it's ready technically, and is well maintained, but is it ready politically, with help for distro packagers? Perhaps some documentation on best practices and making it easy to install s6/s6-rc. We could soon have a rare opportunity for a Linux-wide init change. I'd hate to see systemd replaced by more snake oil. SteveT Steve Litt January 2019 featured book: Troubleshooting: Just the Facts http://www.troubleshooters.com/tjust
