I pled the Linux people to stay inside the unix philosophy to use text files. Low newbies like me learn from reading config files, and fix thing by reading log files, tryiing to make some sense of the error messages there, and using the most suspicious line as the handle to google for a solution (that is often some stackoverflow article, or some forum posts). I dismay after the idea of somebody replacing all that text by a binary that spouts "the service stoped running" or that corrupt, because some buffer was not flush when the kerfukle happened. Even if going to binary gives a extra 20% speed, I think speed is important but not that important. I plead save the discoverability, learn-bility, debug-ness of text (even text scripts) over mysterious binary blobs elfs generating mysterious binary blobs journals. If they nerf text files, is like they nerf Google for me, and my ability to maintain and configure systems. -- -- ℱin del ℳensaje.
