Following on here since I inadvertently deleted Go Linux's post.

Ughh, so they will apparently drop "legacy" support. Why? What does it
hurt? Why is backward compatibility anathema to these people? I
couldn't care less if they want to use various systemd services, but why
can there only be one way? Imagine the chaos if the maintainers of the
C library behaved in a like manner (okay, we'd have Python, but I
digress ;-).

I guess that I am simply too dense to "get" the current paradigm.
Actually, I do get it and this is now simply unacceptable behavior from
supposedly free software projects.
