However, not to the extent that it causes problems that we in turn have to work around downstream. Overall, I am *very* satisfied with the level of support upstream provides to the distros. Quote from IRC today: #systemd: mezcalero » falconindy: ah, arch switches for good? #systemd: mezcalero » falconindy: that's great news #systemd: mezcalero » falconindy: if you need any upstream support for this, just ping (where mezcalero is Lennart and falconindy is Dave). Really, I don't think this is something we need to worry about. -t
