It isn't a non-sequitur, he offered a solution for users that would like different settings, while choosing not to engage in pointless arguments.
While professional courtesy is recommended, maintainers don't really owe an explanation for their work when provided for free. Put that man on a payroll and you might deserve a more detailed answer.
- wtallis 6y agoIt is absolutely a non-sequitur to tell someone what the defaults are when they are complaining that they do not like what the defaults are. "Choosing not to engage in pointless arguments" would be not responding at all, rather than responding in a manner that is implicitly insulting. Poettering phrased his response as if he was answering a different issue than the one he was actually responding to. Deliberately misinterpreting someone's question instead of directly saying he didn't want to get into that matter is poor behavior.

Thats perfectly fine then to go off on one here: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12499#issuecomment-642645878 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12499#issuecomment... its just being a dick. Its not even entertaining.
