Am I interpreting the impacts of this correctly? I believe this would |
| 9 |
mean that if you ran systemd on an otherwise-stable system (that is, |
| 10 |
only systemd and possibly udev are in package.keywords) then you won't |
| 11 |
get systemd support in any of your other packages, even if it is |
| 12 |
available in a stable version of that package? My only VM running |
| 13 |
systemd just happens to be in that configuration, but I'm willing to |
| 14 |
admit that I'm a bit of an edge case. :) |

Why exactly do we need to revbump packages with optional systemd |
| 17 |
support when stabilizing them in the first place? ~arch users would |
| 18 |
already have systemd support compiled if they use it, and stable users |
| 19 |
would get it when it is stabilized. |

I freely admit that there might be some nuance that I'm simply not |
| 22 |
getting here... |
