but it doesn't cover any of the unmentionable features that are so bad on grub. they will either be implemented in the kennel or the stub, because well, people will need dual boot, weird crypto, etc.

exactly like happened with systemd. all the complexity was ignored.. then bolted on. do you miss crontab -e?

I do miss the ability to fix thing easily when crontab -e breaks. Oh, but systemd never breaks, okay.

crontab -e broke? you are special :)

my point is that the alternative to "crontab -e" is writting two files with 10~20 lines in difficult to remember paths. it's impossible to do without a webbrowser nearby.
