It sucks to hear that a project like LFS is forced to drop System V support. I never was a fan of systemd, so this is a bit dissapointing, albeit understandable.

    i’m not actually serious. you’d have to organize with the people who also want it done, like the systemd people do.

      Organizing with people who also want it done, like the systemd people did at the behest of their employer to solve one of its many problems selling linux as a centrally manageable replacement for their competitors’ products.

      At some point we have to acknowledge the elephant in the room using an elephant sized lathe and an army of paid workers to shape linux. The days when people could band together and make decisions about the future of this operating system have been over for over fifteen years now.

        and you address that by finding the people who also want it done and deciding how you are gonna find the solution to your problem. there is definetly not a shortage of groups forking of old DEs and maintaining them for years.

        the people behind systemd found someone to pay them for it, and seem to attract most of the people and companies interested in working on it.

        my suspicion is that there just ain’t enough people interested in other systems.
