Honestly, if people want to have that attitude they might as well stop |
| 15 |
maintaining anything that installs a daemon. As a developer you have |
| 16 |
NO power to prevent somebody else from co-maintaining, and since those |
| 17 |
devs who use systemd are likely to want to have units and they're |
| 18 |
willing to do the work, you can expect somebody to show up and add a |
| 19 |
unit. |

The very nature of Gentoo leads to situations where you'll get |
| 22 |
requests from other devs to add support for crazy stuff to your |
| 23 |
packages (X32, prefix, init systems, etc). As long as somebody else |
| 24 |
is willing to do the work to maintain it (as a developer or proxy) and |
| 25 |
it doesn't hurt conventional users, we should cooperate. |
