It is you who does not understand how software workds. See Alan response. > If a user of Gentoo chooses to use non systemd profile, it means that > we need to make sure systemd will not be a valid option, ever. Again, you don't understand how software works: this has nothing to do with "profiles", it has to do with the fact that UPower now relies on systemd, and therefore people who has UPower installed now, *by default*, require systemd. If they don't want systemd, there is a way to do it, but it requires manual intervention since they now need to first uninstall UPower. > In this case, if it is to disable the upower USE flag, or to provide > alternative, block newer version, whatever make it possible to have a > system working without systemd. It is provided: emerge -C upower emerge -1v upower-pm-utils It has to be done manually, though; otherwise you step on systemd users. > systemd should not be visible at any time, nor its implications.
