I think I found it. The thread's subject line appears to be: "Making |
| 27 |
systemd more accessible to "normal" users" The date is about May 2013. |
| 28 |
At least that is the only thread I can find here locally. My archives |
| 29 |
go back to around June 2009. I searched for both phrases "INSTALL_MASK" |
| 30 |
and "USE=systemd". |

If someone wants to go dig on Gmane or something, at least you know the |
| 33 |
subject line to search for and a somewhat good time frame. |
