Nope, Jeff; you've entirely missed it: On a non-systemd distribution, the odds are good that a) that bug is in code not running as root nor b) in PID1 where if it locks up it takes the whole box with it, and also c) I can just put my thumb down on that one piece and turn it off; that's almost certainly and almost always not true in systemd. That's what's new here. As I noted in another posting, that Unix Philosophy happened for a reason. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
