I know very well that we have already had a registry in GNOME, and I
am among the harseholes who have *never* digested the gconf registry
nonsense-organisation and never managed to port gconfs across
different versions of GNOME (although I have very poor statistics on
that, let's say less than 20 cases...). IMHO centralising is never a
good option, and modularisation should be the norm. Binary conf has
brought only *problems*, while text files have survived for decades
(and please, don't bring again the "performance" argument, since
nobody can discern the difference between loading a text file or a
binary one....).

What really puzzles me is why if you love systemd that much you just
continue arguing about systemd on the ML of a Debian fork specifically
born to throw systemd away. Do you think you might be able to convince
us that systemd is *good* and *beautiful* and *necessary*? I don't
want to be saved, thanks ;)
