"Because the Portable Service concepts introduces zero new metadata and just builds on existing security and resource bundling features of systemd it's implemented in a set of distinct tools, relatively disconnected from the rest of systemd. "

clearly, this is a messy situation. lots of different pieces doing different things in different ways. in order to harmonize this, and simplify it, I believe we need to have systemdd, a daemon for systemd, so that all of it's various pieces can be in one, neat, centralized location.

What a ridiculous comment. Keeping these tools relatively decoupled is a good thing.

I can't speak for the GP, but I believe their comment is parody. Keeping tools decoupled is, of course, very good -- systemd is the antithesis of that norm.

Ah, if it was sarcasm then apologies - it's not something that one can easily pick up through text.

That is no problem. We had our comments scattered out into separate pieces, each doing their own thing in a non-standard comment idiom. In order to simplify and organize things better, I have created commentd which will combine them all into one comment. To save valuable disk space I have also compressed them and put them in binary format.
