No offense,but frankly, I think that's a bit of a "knee jerk" reaction.

Just because some piece of software has support for systemd does not
mean that you have to use it, any more than support for JACK requires
that you therefore MUST use only JACK.


So systemd is a PITA, and we can agree on that.

On the other hand, unless VLC is going to abandon every other
platform, including Windows, then optional systemd logs are nothing to
worry about.


Just compile VLC without systemd.
