11 I wouldn't be so quick to make that assumption. Right now openrc
12 doesn't work on Prefix but there is a SoC project to change that. Why
13 wouldn't we assume that somebody will do the same for systemd?
14 Obviously the long-term future of systemd/openrc/alternatives is
15 unclear now, but that just seems to be all the more reason to keep our
16 options open.
17
18 I'm not suggesting that we fully build-in support for systemd under
19 Prefix and so on, but rather I'm suggesting that if leaving it open as
20 an option now saves us a lot of rework later we should consider it.
21
22 (And yes, I realize that systemd is currently linux-only and why that
23 would make any use under Prefix difficult.)
