This hasn’t been affecting users since January. This bug has been reported in November and only affects users running MAAS who someway or another installed systemd. In this particular case, on November a customer installed live patch on a system, hence the issue.

There is no supported way on Ubuntu Trusty (nor package in the archive) that will create a symlink of /sbin/init to systemd. This only happens By the systemd-sysv package which is only available in Xenial. So, since systemd is not supported as a init system in trusty and this would only happen if a user manually does this, then this doesn’t introduce any regressions in MAAS. So it is not a brave claim to make, it is a claim based on facts. > > > > Lastly, this patch is *only* for 1.9 as this code path is only available > > in Trusty, so upgrades to later Ubuntu releases will yield on using a > > newer version of MAAS that doesn't rely on this code path. > > If we did decide to SRU an emergency fix as a stopgap for MAAS' use > case, and it's for Trusty only, then why have a test at all?
