How comes? Maybe I am wrong, but I saw FreeIPA as a set of (complex) services
integrated with each other, but without "deep" operating system integration. A
few services talking with each other, so to say. And unlike others FreeIPA brings
its own HA.
?
No complaint, of course. I am just curious. Regards
The same as with not doing backports to older OSes, FreeIPA depends on a
*particular set* of integrated services and libraries, not just any. We
choose to avoid some of tough to solve upgrade issues by doing upgrade
by replication. Sometimes battles won by not fighting them.
