I really try hard to not be snide or offend very often, but the idea that something needs to stay a certain way either just because it's always been that way or because we can't do it the way someone else who we don't like has done it deserves a bit of a reality check, really. Or do we want to go back to the Way It Was Done before this pun called Unix launched? I've run ITS on an emulated DECsystem 10 in SIMH; I'm glad a better way was developed.
I deleted my first reply. But you've twice used this argument and I'm afraid I can't let it pass.
I find this common argument execrable. It seems to suggest that if I don't accept and embrace the new things that you do, I'm somehow a Luddite or my thinking is backwards. Is all your money in bitcoins yet?
I run CentOS because I want stability. It works and I know how to work it. When something like this is changed, there is an opportunity cost for having to figure out how to get it back to the way I want it to be (compare to recent issues with Mozilla Chrome, uh, Firefox 29). In the aggregate, how much time will be wasted by admins getting this to work when 7 comes out?
