Good.

So the tool YOU chose is NOT:

• standalone at the project level ✅
• standalone at the repo level ✅
• standalone at the source level (trivially shown with the libsystemd-shared.so dep without requiring looking further) ✅
• standalone/fully independent at the runtime level ✅

This and the sibling sub-thread where I mentioned presets show with actual facts how the systemd forced hegemony actually works, where it’s not just a simple case of “they just have some stand-alone cli tools under their umbrella bro”.

The project itself wouldn’t try to (clumsily) dispute this either, since it’s at the core of what they consider a selling point; interface unification and deeper integration with the system.
