"decades". That, by itself, already calls for an update, no?
But so did other systems, but they later found out that sometimes you
have to break this backwards to infinity compatibility in order to get
some big progress.
There is even a name for this break up, and they call it "disruptive
events", "disruptive technology", etc. When we have such events, you
either get up to speed, change your market field or.. get rusty...
Sorry man, that's how it works, everywhere. Although many will probably
just "miss the old days".. yeah..
Like for firewalld and systemd, as they were already mentioned in here.
It's hard _just because_ it's different. But wait, wasn't iptables
different from ipchains? And is nftables going to be as the same as
iptables? No, of course not. There are features in nftables that you
can't put into iptables cleanly, so you need a new workflow on it.
