SystemD explicitly refuses to have stable APIs between components.

Our declarations are very much tied to systemd. Dependencies are expressed in systemd terms — the rewriting was very visible during the (not universally welcomed) migration from upstart. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
