Hi,

src/shared & src/basic have very useful code that upstream have been static 
linking to most binaries. My understanding is that we haven’t been feeling 
comfortable about the API to make these paths a standalone library (or include 
them in libsystemd).

Now that we started duplicating the code outside of systemd main repo, wouldn’t 
it be wise to make it a library even if it was something like 
libsystemd_onlyandonlyinternal.so.

For people who can follow upstream’s speed and catch up with API changes we 
would gain:

A) No duplication of useful code.
B) Reduce the binary sizes.
