Maybe not the apache binary, but who keeps track of things like sticking the logrotate cronjob into systemd timer unit files (something I just recently experienced on an Arch machine when I was looking for where logrotate was called from and how often)? Changes to mount units? Other things absorbed by systemd? It's not like going without systemd is just about setting different compilation options on upstream software. Not to mention upstream software that has a hard dependency on systemd, like GNOME I have heard -- these are going to require patching. Things like these are going to grow rather than shrink, so I expect much work to come onto the no-systemd people. Greetings Marvin -- Blog: https://www.guelkerdev.de PGP/GPG ID: F1D8799FBCC8BC4F
