Interesting. I didn't realize this was a supported option, but the Gentoo wiki also seems to agree with you [1], so I may need to walk back some of my frustration around this.
I still have concerns that having a shared codebase makes it easier for interdependencies to materialize later, but if they've managed to keep it as decoupled as is claimed here, then I'm pleasantly surprised, and also annoyed that the communication around this issue has been confusing enough to lead me to an apparently incorrect conclusion.

- Conan_Kudo 5y agoMost of the systemd components actually work without systemd as the init. I've used udev and nspawn without systemd-init. As long as you don't have a problem with libsystemd existing, most things work fine without systemd-init. Mainly systemd-journal and systemd-oomd both require systemd-init.
