Amen. Actually that would have been the better outcome anyway since it adds entropy to the gene pool. Cross pollination of ideas could have benefitted both parties. And even if your side doesn't take the cake, enough people would have flocked to the source that we could have fixed some bugs and resolved potential security issues due to the addition of more eyes.

Looking from afar, you'd think this was some tiff over imaginary lines on a map or something. Now that would be silly.

It happened.

Gentoo is waiting to welcome all the systemD haters. OpenRC is going strong.

We also support systemD as well because USE flags rock.

In fact being able to see the sysV and systemD init files side by site was what finally convinced me it is an improvement. An improvement with many questionable additions... Like free money attached with losing my 25/20 eyesight to normal 20/20 or some other minor debilitating affliction.

The Debian exiles will miss apt badly. Apt was what made me move from Red Hat.

Having used Zypper, Yum, Apt, and Pacman, I'd have to rank them pacman > zypper > apt > yum. Have you tried the others? Apt syntax is so cumbersome using either the Suse or Arch package manager.

Gentoo's emerge/portage is pretty nice, though it's been years since I've used it.
