Am I interpreting the impacts of this correctly? I believe this would mean that if you ran systemd on an otherwise-stable system (that is, only systemd and possibly udev are in package.keywords) then you won't get systemd support in any of your other packages, even if it is available in a stable version of that package? My only VM running systemd just happens to be in that configuration, but I'm willing to admit that I'm a bit of an edge case. :) Why exactly do we need to revbump packages with optional systemd support when stabilizing them in the first place? ~arch users would already have systemd support compiled if they use it, and stable users would get it when it is stabilized. I freely admit that there might be some nuance that I'm simply not getting here... Rich
