Is that > ambiguous, or clear to everyone? 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.
