Distribution quotes of the week

Well, the idea is not to break others' eggs. And since the typical supermarket shelf does a suboptimal job of protecting the eggs from breaking, you break all the shelves and put up your own there. It turns out that those shelves are bad news for eggs outside of what one should consider a proper egg, but those eggs were broken to start with.

Looks like a case of "fucked if they do, fucked if they don't".

If i understand it right, and namespaces make my head hurt, is that under private crap all happens if something is mounted both inside and outside a namespace, and sysadmin is trying to unmount outside the namespace.

The problem though is that Linux have no one way streets. you either have a two way street between namespace and "base" (shared), or you have a roadblocks (private).

Still, this is something that should be fixed at the kernel level rather than have systemd make some kind of "executive" decision. But then they keep making decisions that indicate that they want to control the kernel, but don't want to fork the kernel (as likely they would not get anyone to take interest if they did).
