But like I said earlier, we're going round and round in circles. Yes, Apple understands that the switch to launchd has caused a few IT professions grief as they find themselves caught in the middle of the legacy software clashing with modern OS design, but we hope that pain will be temporary.

To chime in my $0.02 here, I actually appreciate to see some old technologies marked as deprecated. The entire QuickDraw machinery is another example. Mac OS X in it's current state is so incredibly complex; it's a relief to see some redundant stuff going away in the long term. Redundant as in duplicated code as well as in running processes rarely needed. As much as I see some confusion right now, I'm just sure nobody will noticeable bother when StartupItems actually go away in 2009. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
