Poettering explicitly says in his talk that he doesn't want to change how home directories work on servers. I mean, RHEL runs on a lot of servers, and they certainly aren't going to alienate a ton of customers by requiring them to log in via a physical console after reboot. I normally find your comments on HN measured and insightful, but in this thread you're just coming off as angry.

Poettering on his word tends to end badly. > I normally find your comments on HN measured and insightful, but in this thread you're just coming off as angry. Yep. I'm seriously pissed off that stuff that worked and that did not require anybody's helping hand keeps being broken without any reason and that I'm forced to eat this crap for the sake of being able to run a reasonably secure distro that I can also use for CUDA and every day stuff such as email and web browsing. The whole 'if it isn't broken don't fix it' mantra is one that I strongly subscribe to, alas, more often than not an 'upgrade' in fact turns out to be a downgrade from what was there before modulo some eye candy that I didn't ask for either.
