Linux 3.7 has been minimum req. for systemd for quite a while now, and I |
39 |
consider systemd in Gentoo still |
40 |
to be more of an work-in-progress |
41 |
And someone agreed with me on #gentoo-systemd, Freenode, that it's not |
42 |
necessary to include it, so I didn't |
43 |
|
44 |
However if the maintainers want to add it, that's fine by me, easy to |
45 |
add one line to the news item... I'll CC them to this |
46 |
mail just in case |
