Bash is not depbloat, but bash + awk + grep + any other userspace
tools shows alot of dep bloat.
bash + awk + grep is very small, not to mention that it is needed by
a lot of other softwares.
Since python is installed on most
machines, and almost always putting at least some code in shared
memory space, asking for Python in particular is not unreasonable. If
python is not installed in chroot rpm installs (in general) and
also may not be installed on servers.
Since depbloat should be a non-issue in this case, I think we really
In my opinion it is an issue in some use cases, but should not prevent
from using an init system written in python. In fact I think that the
programming language of an init system is not an issue at all.
