I wonder how much this has to do with the code, and coder, churns in the Linux ecosystem.
Seems to me that there is a new weekend plumbing project popping up and being replaced almost monthly, if not even more often.
And it if gets an toehold in the ecosystem, the initial developer will quickly move on as he runs out of features to graft on and thus lose interest.
Then whoever takes over invariably decides the codebase in shit, and start over from scratch. And the cycle repeats.
- microcolonel 9y agoWell, that might be true of some random special-interest packages; but for base system components like the kernel (linux) and the init system (systemd), you see the opposite of that description. The maintainers of core GNU/Linux infrastructure are, for the most part, permanent and devoted.
- digi_owl 9y agoWatch systemd get passed off soon enough. Never mind that calling it a init is a mislabeling at best...
