Quoting Marc MERLIN ([email protected]): > and someone actually using systemd (i.e. not me) filed a bug, correct? > :) The person quoted said he wasn't going to, and said why. (I should stress that I'm merely the much-amused messenger, in this matter. FWIW, I tend to think bugs should be filed no matter if you think the maintainer's a wanker or whatever, but I wasn't asked.) Someone wrote to me in mail claiming there _is too_ a SIGILL signal, which struck me as missing the point that, if it exists, I doubt the man page specifies 'causes the system to fall over, four out of five times'. The 'you have no right to complain about the system going explody if you were root at the time' argument I've just heard from the same guy, too. I'm glad to assume it's being argued in good faith but, um, no, I really don't think that's the way *ix is supposed to work.
