It was only last evening that I posted my story Developer Dissatisfaction Looms with Systemd.
Sadly, following on the heels of that story, Founder +Andrew Wyatt made a formal announcement this morning regarding his planned retirement from active work on and end of life for the Fuduntu project.
It is regretful to see this happen and I hope it is not a trend for other smaller Distros to close camp in similar fashion.
The struggle to keep Linux on an even keel continues in spite of systemic infrastructural changes.
Add to the mix that Gnome has coded a forced dependency on systemd complicates the situation further insofar as non-systemd Distros that may wish to use Gnome and also obstructs the ability of continued use of Gnome on BSD platforms by virtue of the fact that systemd does not support BSD interfacing.
I ask you: Is this good programming or 'lazy' programming? You tell me.
