Christ, stop making it sound like we would *want* systemd to do even
more odd things.

Quite frankly, any feature that is sold with ".. and systemd can use
this fox Xyz", is a *misfeature* in my opinion.  Core infrastructure
like systemd should use a *minimal* interface, not some random
extended features.

I'm starting to really dislike this whole feature discussion.
