No worries. Thanks for pending time to work on this important topic. I'm
just loaded with too much other ongoing projects at the moment. Also,
summer is on its way, garden asks (actually cries) for attention :-)

However, I volunteer to work on some of these packages to have them
systemd free. Hopefully with better outcome than wicd. Sorry for that,
but seems no one is really using it - including me - and Gray seems to
have his own ideas how to continue it.

Thats good news so far. One could ask why they depend on systemd for build
if they seem not to use it at all.

Uhm, gvfs may be of importance for several GTK+ based applications
including desktops. E.g. budgie-desktop is using it ( Currently using
that)

e17 -> Enlightment Window Manager ? Maybe relevant

lirc, lvm2 I use both of them. Especially lvm2 is important. I was using a
self build lvm2 package without any systemd dep with beowulf. I could try
to prepare it again...

cheers,
