No it doesn't. All it does is make use of IPv6 if it is available (where available means: if compiled in to the kernel or compiled as kmod and not blacklisted). It requires the kernel module to be loaded properly at boot to make use of that, hence it will try loading it, unless it is explicitly blacklisted. > And you pitch systemd to be used by embedded devices.

Good for you, but what does that have to do with Fedora? > You can't beat that. In fact, you are yet to reply why systemd uses > eleven megs of RAM all by itself.

That's a key feature of supervision of services: that you know when a daemon is gone, and know the exit code and whether it crashed or not.
