I really like the path Fedora is taking.

More madness

Ok... I'm all for moving forward, but inside the datcenter, what we're seeing a pretty large scale regression managment wise.

I know this is not going to affect the desktop newbie.... but configuration mgmt wise, it's a much harder thing to back port basic existing packages now that Red Hat and Fedora have moved to systemd and friends. So... you may think you are not impacted, but now you're going to have to do a lot more rpm spec rewriting (and for many, you may not have been used to do any at all).

Anyhow, just something we're seeing even though we haven't moved to a systemd base yet...we're still being impacted....

Just something to consider. If you're always maintaining your packages totally on your own, then this won't be a big problem. But we're seeing the shortcuts going away...

Upgrade to RHEL 7. Problem solved.

systemd in the data center (first hand experience) is wonderful. I would never consider going back to sysvinit or to anything even upstart based.
