18 I think putting more pressure so systemd isn't given as granted would be
19 more healthy for both those who are not using it (because, again, is an
20 aberration for any kind of daemon not written for it) and those that
21 want to use it (since maybe as desktop-only it might have some nice
22 integrations).
23
24 Probably just adding the dbus interfaces and thinning it down might be
25 something useful if that integration might have use-cases.
