That's not actually the issue here. Rather: "it changed so now it's inconsistent across platforms"

There is:
- if you're changing a multi-platform standard, include the other platforms (e.g. create a coredumpctl tool for *BSD)
- do the changes slowly/incrementally in a backwards-compatible way (e.g. apply the new coredump locations first to read-only containers and service daemons running as systemd units)
- pjmlp 4y agoForgetting about Aix, HP-UX,....? It isn't as if it worked the same everywhere anyway.
- WastingMyTime89 4y ago- It's not a multi-platform standard more a happy accident of history. - The BSD are irrelevant. Why hamper Linux development to cater for users who don't exist?
