Hi all

Forgive my recent silence as an editor of LFS/BLFS, this was almost 
exclusively down to professional matters (I got laid off by the 
company), I'm still fully behind the idea, goals and general management 
of LFS/BLFS.

However, as those of you knowing me probably assumed, I'm of course 
totally and unequivocally against the recently made decision of dropping 
SYSV support in LFS/BLFS.

But as I was not of any help at the time of the decision, I naturally 
have to accept it, I had the chance to object, but didn't take it, my bad.

I have now decided to go on like this: I will maintain a separate fork 
of LFS/BLFS at my home, for anybody that does not want to submit to 
systemd as being the only way to run a self-created Linux system.

Because I don't, and I never will. And if it's just because this bloated 
piece of garbage was provably shoved down everybody's throat by a 
provably lying and manipulative former employee of Red Had and now 
Microsoft, with the very clearly stated goal of driving non-compliant 
UNIX's out of business.

I cannot be part of that, sorry, I'm too moral for this.

But I still hope that my sysv fork and Xi Ruoyao's mainline can maintain 
a friendly partnership. I just would like LFS to point to a choice 
outside of Poetteringverse. It's much nicer there.


Bye
Tim
