It’s test day time again, folks, and this one’s a biggie! You may have read about the brand new initialization system, systemd, written by Lennart Poettering.

So, the debate about update policies and user experience etc is spilling onto the Planet, with some constructive posts from Máirín and Jon so far. Thought I’d throw in a few cents. In the end, it doesn’t matter hugely to me how this gets settled – I work QA, and as I figure it, our [...]
