Interview with Lennart Poettering (LinuxFR.org)Interview with Lennart Poettering (LinuxFR.org)Posted Jul 6, 2011 20:53 UTC (Wed) by nevets (subscriber, #11875)In reply to: Interview with Lennart Poettering (LinuxFR.org) by tuna Parent article: Interview with Lennart Poettering (LinuxFR.org)
And that limits me to what kernels I can boot. As a kernel developer, I may not be the focus of Lennart's users, but it totally eliminates me from ever testing his work. If systemd requires that all my kernels must have CGROUPS enabled, then I can't use it. My job requires that I test various configurations, and !CGROUPS is one of them.
Cgroups are still rather new and hasn't matured yet to be something that I would push as a must have for a distro. There is a lot that I do not agree with Lennart, but its OK as long as I am not forced to use it. I'll stick to Fedora 13 for a long time (and Debian on my own computers).
I'm getting a strong feeling that I will soon be having a custom install on all my boxes (no systemd and no gnome3). Well, I may have one box (or partition) that has systemd for testing why it broke.

As has been pointed several times, systemd doesn't require cgroups and will still boot just fine without it. It won't have all the features that take advantage of cgroups but that is expected.

I wouldn't say it runs just fine. It runs crippled. The only reason it does not crash immediately is to allow a kernel developer to see if his modified kernel still boots. Please don't use it for more than that. You would not get a good impression of systemd.
