Right, and the criticisms haven't been updated since.

How exactly do you test things if you never roll it out to production. Because "at least as good as the old" is a hard metric, especially given that PA solved a bunch of problems the old code never even attempted.

I think Ubuntu had a particularly bad first PA implementation and that did a lot of the damage. But being on repeat for a decade about how it sucks while it no longer does for the vast majority does not make these people look smart, that's for sure.

I haven't heard any complaints about PA in a long time. Sure, if you dig hard enough you could find some, but nothing like the ground swell of ten+ years ago.

I understand it is very hard to roll out something new and bug-free to production. It's quite easy to not bother, however.
