@fedops @theregister > hardly a way to get the system into the 2020s I completely disagree. Again. A good general principle is: don't remove or replace anything until you understand why it works the way it does. This is a general case and it's called Chesterton's Fence. https://fs.blog/chestertons-fence/ Another general principle which the RH and Freedesktop folks need to learn is the Kaizen principle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaizen In other words: "continual improvement is generally better than disruptive change." The principle problem I have with Wayland, systemd, OStree, Flatpak, and so on is that they show very clear evidence of design by people who do not understand the existing context of the problems, or the reasons they exist, or the existence of other existing solutions which solve the same problems in easier, cleaner, simpler ways.
