     Yes, daemon writers are good-willing developpers; they want their 
software to serve as many users as possible; and users install distros. 
This gives power to the distros. But if someone provides them with a 
KISS readyness-signaling method, along with a systemd wrapper, then they 
can satisfy RedHat's requests at no cost.

     The question now is who will develop, maintain and package this 
wrapper? Will Devuan be the official developper of 
"Systemd-Readyness-Wrapper", or can anyone convince Openssh or who else 
to take the job? Or are the daemon's developper powerfull enough to tell 
RH "do it yourself."?
