I second that, KatolaZ.


Just because a script looks for it means that it is, or will ever be, a
requirement. Dev scripts typically look for everything, including the
kitchen sink. It's nothing to worry about, just a convenience for those
who do want to configure the source to use systemd.

Whether we like it or not, systemd is a part of the Linux community,
and devs have every reasonable expectation to provide support if it is
wished.

It's all about diversity of views and code.
