Or break stuff from one release to another. I fear that the web app approach to release often and break often is getting into Linux userland development. Gtk3 is another example of that. 3.16 was fine and 3.18 started drawing slower and displaying black rectangles anytime while a built-in dialog (color, file, etc.) is opening. Then there's Gtk3's reluctance to support themes. Almost all themes have to be ported again for each Gtk3 release. And you cannot configure your theme once and reuse the config ($HOME) on two different versions of a linux distro. If GNOME wouldn't approach the default theme like everybody uses Gtk3 on a tablet, it wouldn't be problem to have no theming. I've been using a Gtk2 theme I wrote for at least 12 years or even longer and it never glitched on me. This is the same mindset systemd development in general seems to have. But like in all organizations I've seen reasonable developers in the systemd community and those who are not. |
