Amen brother! Yes I'm willing to pay the ludicrously high price but I'm not gonna do that only for "the talks". It's gotta be something tangible that no one else is offering. I mean they've already done that once with v4, my money went to another company, they saw the comments about the jack... Can only wonder what would this "We're the mighty Mozilla so we know better than you what you like!" attitude bring them.

As usual: good idea ruined by moronic management.

It's a full circle isn't it?

Yes it's all noble and it all sounds rational except... it no longer matters. Face it: Ever since systemd we've seen the dawn of the Linux barbaric ages so any rational argument will fall short in front of the "coolness" factor. systemd was designed to answer some of the laptops problems and now it's everywhere. Containers were designed to address (some of the) server problems and they're now everywhere.

Come on folks, harsh reality that nobody seems to be willing to admit to is that we haven't been able to come up with a good universal package manager for Linux. Guess what? A tiny small side effect that nobody anticipated from the container registry/technology was that it can act like THE universal "package manager". I'm sorry to have to put it this way but that's what containers are for most of my colleagues: the universal package manager.

Put it the other way: If RAM never stood a chance in front of developers, lately fast (and increasingly cheap) storage started having an uneasy advance in front of the OS. I mean apart from pr0n and movies what else was there to waste disk space? Countless copies of glibc to the rescue cos' we're otherwise screwed with instant software starts and the likes!

Most of all I'll miss the clear view that df provides but then a simple ls on rc.d would provide a clear view of the booting process, right? Oh well...

... and why did they think phone number was a good idea to begin with?

Yeah, you're gonna be able to see the source code of certain binaries, you will be able to compile them EXACTLY as the great Mpire thought you should but that'll be about it! Good luck in signing your OWN version of the binary and run it on Azure. That's why he invented v3 of the GPL... what was that about history and repetition?
