Wouldn't this imply that these aren't actually 1:1 replacements?
- zamadatix 2y agoIt would imply not all of the replacements are complete and/or bug free yet, and the article gives examples of just that earlier in the text, but it would not imply the replacements lack the goal of being 1:1 replacements like GP said. This would seem to be one of the driving factors in the creation of oxidizr: to allow testing how ready the components are to be drop in replacements with easy recourse. You can read more about that in this section of the linked blog post by jnsgruk https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/carefully-but-purposefully-oxidising-ubuntu/56995#p-144776-introducing-oxidizr https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/carefully-but-purposefully-ox...
