how? Because they link against a third-party library?

Agree, important topic

Depends on the distro, but your package manager should be able to do that. On a global scale, that's likely impossible, because there's no true register of how programs are linked - in fact, the inclusion of libsystemd was distro-specific
- metalforever 3y agoBecause its a very large monolithic piece of code, which causes issues with trying to audit it / brings it code that might not be necessary / increases attack surface
- LtWorf 3y agoWell said… by someone who has clearly never opened the sources of systemd.
