7 Maybe not the apache binary, but who keeps track of things like sticking
8 the logrotate cronjob into systemd timer unit files (something I just
9 recently experienced on an Arch machine when I was looking for where
10 logrotate was called from and how often)? Changes to mount units? Other
11 things absorbed by systemd? It's not like going without systemd is just
12 about setting different compilation options on upstream software. Not to
13 mention upstream software that has a hard dependency on systemd, like
14 GNOME I have heard -- these are going to require patching. Things like
15 these are going to grow rather than shrink, so I expect much work to come
16 onto the no-systemd people.
