After only reading the headline, I expected Poettering to be quoted saying, "Functioning as designed. Go pound sand." The response was as expected, but apparently Poettering's attitude has become contagious within the systemd devs:<p>> Initially the bug report was shot down by systemd developer Luca Boccassi of Microsoft with:<p>> So an option that is literally documented as saying "all files and directories created by a tmpfiles.d/ entry will be deleted", that you knew nothing about, sounded like a "good idea"? Did you even go and look what tmpfiles.d entries you had beforehand?<p>> Maybe don't just run random commands that you know nothing about, while ignoring what the documentation tells you? Just a thought eh
