I'm talking about the spirit, as in "do one thing and do it well". Not that e.g. syslog shall be these specific facilities and these specific severrities. I want people to understand what was done, why it was done, and to the best of their ability, make an informed decision when changing from history. - I'd really like people to be able to answer the question "Why did you do <bla> differently than it was done in <blaBlaBla>. What was wrong / lacking / needed to be improved from the old way." As long as people 1) have answers to those questions and 2) can speak to why they did what they did, then by all means, move forward with something new to try. I hear tell of people putting reverse proxies in containers in front of web server containers so that they can have basic traffic counters, which they can't get (for some unknown to me reason) from their web server container. - Where if they had bothered to ask the network people, there are very likely multiple ways to get said traffic counters. Further, ways to do it without adding the additional complexity (read: exposure) / latency of additional containers. -- Grant. . . . unix || die
