All, |

I can clarify one part of the systemd issue, because I have been |
| 4 |
involved in this part of the issue for months. Again, I am not trying |
| 5 |
to start a dispute here, just providing a clarification. |

The choice to install all of the systemd binaries in /usr is not an |
| 8 |
upstream choice. It was a choice made a year ago when our systemd team |
| 9 |
was one person [1], and now the team doesn't want to change it because |
| 10 |
it would require users to go through a migration, and the rest of the |
| 11 |
team doesn't see a benefit in changing it since it still links to |
| 12 |
libraries in /usr/lib. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I joined the team, primarily to take responsibility for this change and |
| 15 |
to try to make it go as smoothly as possible, but I was overruled even |
| 16 |
though upstream gave us a pretty strong warning about it. |
