We can't remove the old way of course, as that would break things, but that doesn't stop improvements
- IshKebab 2y agoSometimes removing the old way is the improvement though. E.g. adding an alternative to symlinks doesn't help if symlinks are still allowed.
- chikere232 2y agoWhy? That way you break a lot of things.

Strongly specialized programs that f.ex. never access disk and only access network are a good candidate to be tested in either restricted containers or brand new OS-es that carry legacy baggage. It's doable, but nobody wants to put in the money, time and energy into pioneering it.
