It&#x27;s not a systemd bug, it was just <i>exposed</i> by systemd.  This was what most everyone seemed to completely miss in the prior exchanges.<p>Another thing that was missed was that Lennart wasn&#x27;t being unreasonable, nor was he saying it wasn&#x27;t a problem (he specifically stated the opposite, in fact).  I had a feeling at the time (based on his responses) that the reason he wasn&#x27;t specifically stating he was going to fix it or open a bug report for it in systemd was that he was going to push it up-stack to a more appropriate place, and it looks like that&#x27;s what happened.
