I think that it would not be productive if I tried communicating with
systemd upstream. We both consider each other toxic, and I'd rather
not mess with my sanity trying to be nice to a <censored>.

I lost my temper on systemd-devel in december and cannot write there
any more due to policy decision of the list owner. I doubt that a bug
report filed by me would get any helpful upstream attention.

So, I regret that in this case my answer is thanks, but no thanks.

Greetings
Marc
