"Nobody is forcing systemd on anybody."

Wasn't it this what was always said by the devs in all those long
threads about systemd? And what are you doing now? Isn't this not
forcing it on everybody?

Ok:

fact:
- you will have all the systemd stuff installed on your system (you already had
most of it on your system anyway)
- initscripts is still working fine without interference of systemd

so you are right, you are forced to install it. but you are wrong that you are
forced to use it.
and eventually only one init system will be left and now it is looking very
much in favour of systemd.

Up till now you didn't have a choice, you had to use initscripts and you liked it. Why don't you take over maintenance of them so people can keep using them?

A systemd upgrade question (not related to this particular update),
do you generally need to reboot when systemd is upgraded?

I use KDE regularly. It works perfectly fine with/without pulseaudio.
(Actually since archlinux does not install pulseaudio by default, I did
not notice it was not installed for a long time, until it tried firing up
pavucontrol and saw it was not installed and neither was any pulseaudio
package.) Also, there is no systemd dependency in KDE.

So, KDE might be bad for you in general, but in this case, it is
definitely good.

Hi,

Apparently, Gentoo has recently forked udev. [1] I am not completely
sure since the main poster is a n00b according to the gentoo forum
ratings, but rest of the discussions seems legit.

Ahh, I thought so. It was only forked yesterday, so there is not much to
be expected in terms of changes right now. But going by the number of
veterans and others who have commented on it, I thought that it is
possible that this is legit. Also, the guys there are talking like they
are the one going to be making the changes.
