@seasons - erm, no, we (sid+$foo) are the guinea pigs per definition
@melmarker, we had this discussion before. You can say "erm, no" all you want, but it won't change my opinion that major systemd version bumps screw up more than most packages and in ways that are more than annoying/inconvenient (unbootable system). It also takes longer for the fixes to roll out (longer than towo's kernels, for example). I will be extra cautious upgrading to new major versions of systemd and encourage others to do the same. I'd also like to see systemd prereleases in experimental. That is my opinion. You are welcome to feel differently, but don't expect my opinion to change until the situation does.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, etc.
