I think this is very ambiguous and my immediate interpretation is
probably not what the original proposer means. The two extreme
interpretations I see for "designed to work exclusively with systemd" are:
- my guess for the OP meaning: some piece of software that is directly
related to systemd, tries to enhance it and in the end should be part of it;
- my immediate interpretation: any piece of software where upstream
does not care for (or does not have the resources to support) non-systemd.
The first interpretation is very strong but difficult to phrase in a
less ambiguous manner.
The second interpretation is so very light that this option on the
ballot is effectively equivalent to "scrap everything, support only
systemd".
Kind regards, Thibaut.
