Hey, Steve!

Don't get me wrong here, I'm just expressing the _opinion_ that Systemd
compatibility is going to be a greater problem down the road, especially since
it seems likely that upstream projects, including the Linux kernel itself
(via kdbus) are headed in the direction that they are.

I was suggesting that some way of trapping systemd calls and resolving them
will have to become a part of the system, even if Devuan does not have systemd
itself. Otherwise, a lot of code is going to be have to dropped from the
distribution or forked as time goes on.

I was suggesting that systembsd's efforts might be of value in this area.

Apparently, just saying that is annoying some people, and I apologize for
that. Perhaps you are right, and it would be best if I kept my opinions to
myself.
