Well, say if the user did choose linux over FreeBSD because at that time in the past it did'nt but now it does provide what is still neded, it is certainly questionable (not always idiotic) to migrate a bunch of servers *just* because some linux distros switched to systemd. It might be the last of a serie of reasons, maybe not the only one. :) BTW, wich "important" distros did not? (Just out of curiosity, if I may ask... :) Cheers, Luciano. -- /"\ /Via A.
