Hi Zbigniew,
Do you know if systemd upstream would be willing to commit to that
continuing to be the case? I wasn't sure if that would be an acceptable
limitation; if not, that's certainly an easy solution for those two
facilities.
I admit that I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't run without
systemd as PID 1, but I wasn't sure I was anticipating possible future
changes.
