Don't I know THAT feeling all too well.  Over on the Samba Team (where
I'm the chief security consultant on the team) we're all too busy with
juggling our domain and our web cert.  On top of that, I've got my day
job (of course).  On top of that, I've got about six other OpenSource
projects I'm juggling (including this one).  On top of that, I've got a
consulting customer that's going through fits.  And the beat goes on.

I'll test out things as fast as I can.  I need this.  This suddenly got
very interesting as soon as we had a thread to pick at on the systemd
ball of yarn.

I'm hoping the hook patches are in that cherry picked basket.  We really
need them if that's what it takes to make this work.  Looking forward to
it. :-)=)

I'm going to look further into this whole redirect /dev/console to a log
hang thing.  That's not good and may need to be resolved soon as well.
I can live with losing the vty's although I disagree with Stéphan's
arguments.  They (systemd) are behaving significantly different from
sysvinit and upstart and they claim they want to be transparent?  Not.
No matter.  We need to make that work properly as well, agree with them
or disagree with them.

Regards,
Mike
