So, I get why you did it, but my concern is that when you tell portage |
| 8 |
that non-systemd users shouldn't use this package, portage helpfully |
| 9 |
solves that problem by turning all the non-systemd users into systemd |
| 10 |
users, instead of switching them to the alternative that works without |
| 11 |
systemd. |

Whatever - short of profiles/mix-ins or whatever you want to do on a |
| 14 |
big scale there isn't a simple solution to problems like this. It |
| 15 |
just isn't obvious to users who haven't read GMN that there is a |
| 16 |
simple fix. Even users who do read GMN might get confused by the |
| 17 |
version number issue, as the change impacts stable users who aren't |
| 18 |
using the version of upower mentioned in GMN. |

Plus, GMN isn't in-your-face like portage news. |
