Well, it _is_ a non-trivial project.

The way things are going I am becoming convinced that the proper course
of attack is to reimplement all the systemd functions in the Unix
paradigm. Too many developers are embracing systemd and it's getting
harder to keep a functional Linux system without it.

Sometimes the only way out is through.
