They don't have control over the dependencies in packages and |
| 9 |
distributions they don't own though; so, for them to be listed as a |
| 10 |
dependency goes a long way. |

I think that for most packages in the Portage tree there is a large |
| 13 |
enough chain of dependencies between the package and systemd such that |
| 14 |
one can always avoid having to install systemd. But we're not there and |
| 15 |
I think we will never be there, because systemd is not often listed as |
| 16 |
a dependency (only on ~2 or so GNOME packages?) compared to something |
| 17 |
like ncurses that is listed all over the place... |
