seems like people on mailing-lists are a little hypersensitive

guys in bugreports are saying the change came from
systemd-guys - so as user i believe them

no need for any additional output
df = DISK free
mount = mounts

the problem here is that since more than a year and
TWO fedora-releases averybody is pointig to another one
and nobody feels responsible nor cares really

if i could i would have done a year ago

i am web-developer and in this category i write EVERY
single piece of software and library by myself since many
years to avoid random incomaptible changes and troubles
with lazy developers not compatible with recent php on
dist-upgrades

and yes i am doing this for some hundret domains since
2003, fully automated updates and a 100% clean codebase
with not a single behavior change for existing projects
and modules on error_reporting E_STRICT in prodcution

that's the way i work and there it does not matter if
i get paied for a piece of work or doing it just for
fun - the quality and NERVER BEAK BEHAVIOR is always
the same

the big difference is that if breakage is needed i feel
also resposible to wait until all depedning pieces of
code are prepared, migrations in any direction are running
100% perfect and no matter how long it takes - finally
you will see a update with party dramatical changes in
API's but without any beahvior change for a user or any
warning/error message

if i would not have made and commented two bugreports
more than a year ago with no reaction for a behavior
change which never should have happened this way with
no other reaction than different developers are pointing
in different directions and nobody feels resposible i would
not have written any message
