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.sodep 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.
