I tend to think that "custom interfaces" would be more appropriate for
what you described here.

The term "proprietary" seems to imply some sort of exclusivity with
regard to those interfaces, while my current impression is that systemd
developers do not have any interest in locking them to systemd: to the
contrary the seem quite happy that some of them got adopted by others
(hostnamed, localed, logind, etc.) and link to them from their wiki:

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/InterfacePortabilityAndStabilityChart/

In the case of logind, it has even been made able to run standalone to
let others reuse the same implementation, not only the interface.


Sorry for the digression, I just took the chance to mention this stuff
here since it's not the first time I see this term used somewhat
inappropriately in this context.

Sorry, but you are able to get a *odd* number summing only *even*
numbers? :-) Someone (I don't remember who) said that odd numbers are
better than even numbers, because summing or multipling even numbers you
can only get even numbers...

You might have luck with 2.4 and the UDF filesystem and udftools.
Haven't tried it myself, so I'm not sure it'll work. :)
But I have already tried: the kernel still assume the cd drive as
read-only at low level (or so I've been said :) , so I can only create
a loopback udf filesystem on the hard disk. :-(
