Now that it's insinuated itself in the RHEL system, I do wonder if it is going to start driving people away. In many ways, IMHO, RH has become the Windows of Linux, with no serious competitors, at least here in the US. Sure, some companies use something else, but when I had to job hunt last year, 90-95 percent of the Linux admin jobs were for RedHat/CentOS/OEL/SL admins.
That presumes that your conservative attitude is the majority opinion though.
Very true. I do remember Adam Williamson of Fedora commenting on their forums that he pictured many of the complainers about various changes, including systemd, to be old white guys, which fit me to a T.
Systemd is one of the features that I have been looking forward
to in CentOS 7 because of the new capabilities it provides so while this will surely drive some people away it will actually attract others and if you think that this will lead to some sort of great exodus then I think you are mistaken.
That's not what I said. I said I wondered if it would. I suspect it won't. Whether this is good or not depends upon one's point of view.
