with systemd - calling init is calling systemd already - so the start/stop events in the script aren't particularly needed

> The Debian packages `firmware-b43legacy-installer_019-4_all` and `firmware-b43-installer_019-4_all` contain no actual data but do it this way via their `postinst` script: This is all legacy stuff - broadcom softmac/fullmac is beyond...

No impact to enable the item - it's default is not to run, so the user has to explicitly turn it on. Saves a lot of time not having to...

I'll update here - should be fine on Pi2/Pi3 for the arm7 kernel - I don't have a Pi1/PiZero/CM so can't say much about ARM6, but again, this is low...

Won't say anything about ARM6 -- localizing this to the A7/A53 (e.g. Pi2/Pi3) makes sense.. edit... Anyways - I'm ok with the potential hit... Nice explanation about memory management here...

Seems like this has request has been pushed back/deprecated... Again - enabling this on the kernel default config itself, just makes it available... one still has to explicitly enable this...

Understood - let me manage my code... ksm works for me, netdata does benefit, vm's might benefit, but like @Ferroin mentions, not a big deal for the mainstream. It's basically...

so where do we land here? I'm not seeing a good reason why "not" to do this change, esp. since it's in upstream and working well... most folks don't know...
