also: it's way too late to be surprised that Linux and systemd have the absolute majority of the market share; they get to dictate what kind of functionality is available, and other platforms need to adapt. We're not in the '80s/'90s any more, with a bunch of incompatible Unix versions all vying for dominance.

@ebassi Having a clean technical solution and not shipping hacks is good, but everybody ships hacks to enable one thing or other, I think more salient is that it's totally unreasonable to expect that somebody else to maintain these hacks indefinitely if it's you who wants them. People only have a finite amount of time and maintaining mostly unused stuff is not a good use of it. I think Adrian does a wonderful job telling people who want to keep maintaining this what to do.
