Except that wasting time re-learning a new and strange way to do something that already worked - or how to disable the new thing so it doesn't break your working setup - doesn't really put you ahead of anything.
This is a _major_ release. Things change during _major_ releases. Luckily you aren't being forced at gunpoint to use it.
Seriously. Your constant complaints against the Red Hat way of doing things got old a decade ago.
It's not so much 'The' Red Hat way of doing things - although SysV mostly had it right in the first place. But the annoying part is the number of Red Hat "Ways' that are just arbitrarily different - like a car company swapping the brake and gas pedal locations for every new model. I suppose if you sell training courses you have to make a reason for people to come back.
To continue your analogy, should car companies have stopped changing after the 20s? I mean, the cars then got you were you needed to go, right?
Things change. You are certainly free to deny that and stay on old releases, but the world *will* move forward, with or without you.
