Libsystemd is just a shared library with some common code used by various systemd daemons (an epoll-based event loop, the dbus protocol implementation, uuid generation, parsers for the binary logs, etc). I can understand why people don't want to run systemd as pid1, but having some other external daemon depend on this library doesn't make it any harder to bootstrap that type of distribution.

- zxzax 5y agoThat doesn't really make any sense, libsystemd is just a library with some fairly generic functionality.
