Its acceptable for avahi and pulseaudio because you don't need to use them.

With systemd, its a big problem because systemd is widely distributed. Systemd failed on its promise to create a new standard for defining services. Right now a ton of projects ship their own supervisor (runit, supervisord) or docker compose file to reduce their contact surface to systemd. Look what GitLab Omnibus does.

But with everything connected to systemd (udev, dbus), anything without systemd is sort of second class in terms of being tested. Ideally i would have the stability of Debian without the surprises from systemd. I tell people to "Press Ctrl+Alt+Del 7 times within two seconds" way too often.

LP?

My guess is „Lennart Poettering“.

I assume Lennart Poettering, creator of systemd et all.

You know that if it hadn't been a library linked by systemd, it would have just been another library right?

Your hastiness to hate on systemd made you forget what we're even talking about…

Maybe

But why in tarnation they need libxz to talk to systemd over dbus? Harm reduction should start there

And also maybe let's rethink dbus or bring it to a modern standard and not be just Corba for geeks.

Yes let's rewrite everything… that will fix security! /s
