Oops, that’s right!

Only after 20 years. Light will take 10y to make it from earth to the mirror, and 10y to travel back.

Knowing how to write a good study is a matter of experience more than intelligence.

I had no idea! It seems like it was a really unruly project to manage, but it’s a shame to lose the centralization of having one app that can configure anything. I don’t see any problem in having package management split off into Myrlyn, but it sounds like Cockpit is much more limited in scope, which is a shame, since handling the edge cases gracefully was what made YaST so useful.

Here’s a source for others who didn’t realize.

Agreed. Fortunately, I don’t see anything about that being planned, they are just separating system installation from system management. I’m fine with that, as long as the new installer keeps the good control over partition management.

My reading is that the installer is no longer based on YaST, not that YaST has been retired overall.

I mean isn’t this just Xen revisited? I don’t understand why this is necessary.
