As said recently in arch-dev-public mailing list [ 0 ]: - systemd-tools is meant to be a package that everyone can benefit from (regardless of PID 1) - everyone will eventually have systemd-tools installed anyways, as initscripts will be using it Also, udev code has been merged upstream in systemd's code. That doesn't mean you have to run systemd as PID 1. [ 0 ] https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2012-May/022980.html
