Feel free to argue your case upstream. I don't have any intention to play games with moving files to different locations than upstream installs them (and cause grave bugs like the ones in eg. neomutt!). Fwiw, I don't agree that the init system is a user. (Neither is dbus.) Also, any binary /can/ be executed by a user - the difference is how useful it is to do so. I don't see why anyone would or should ever execute the iwd binary directly. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
