зачем?

вот немного простыни из буков для тех, кому лень по ссылке ходить:
> Yeah, I see a few things coming down the line that may cause a shakeup to our usual way of doing things, and could force Slackware to become, well, perhaps less UNIX-like. I guess the two big ones that are on the horizon are Wayland and systemd. Whether we end up using them or not remains to be seen. It's quite possible that we won't end up having a choice in the matter depending on how development that's out of our hands goes. It's hard to say whether moving to these technologies would be a good thing for Slackware overall. Concerning systemd, I do like the idea of a faster boot time (obviously), but I also like controlling the startup of the system with shell scripts that are readable, and I'm guessing that's what most Slackware users prefer too. I don't spend all day rebooting my machine, and having looked at systemd config files it seems to me a very foreign way of controlling a system to me, and attempting to control services, sockets, devices, mounts, etc., all within one daemon flies in the face of the UNIX concept of doing one thing and doing it well.

краткий пересказ: «да, системд — прикольно. но мне не особо нравится (да и перезагрузка системы не является моим основным видом работы с компом), и людям, которые выбирают слаку, скорее всего, тоже. но вполне возможно, что у нас просто не останется выбора.»

> Wayland, by comparison, seems fairly innocuous, assuming that they'll be able to implement network transparency either directly or through some kind of add-on compatibility layer. Again, another thing that most desktop users don't have a lot of use for but many users can't do without. I like X11, and would probably stick with it if moving to Wayland meant losing that feature, even if Wayland's rendering method carried with it some benefits like reduced rendering artifacts or increased video performance.

краткий пересказ: «вэйланд, вроде, безобидный. пусть реализуют сетевую прозрачность — тогда посмотрим. но мне лично нравится X11, и если переход на вэйланд будет означать потерю фич (даже за счёт ускорения рендеринга), то ну его.»

так что автор новости немного слукавил, хотя впрямую и не наврал.
