</span>Really. Look at the dependencies in systemd. Especially this one:<br>
<br>
[mhw@canyon ~]$ rpm -qlR systemd | grep qr<br>
libqrencode.so.3()(64bit)<br>
[mhw@canyon ~]$<br>
<br>
Explain to me why in all of hades an init system needs QR codes?<br>
<br>
I discovered this in the process of working on trim downs in NST<br>
(Network Security Toolkit) and found that a considerable amount of the<br>
bloated fat getting in my way of shoehorning that back onto bootable<br>
CD's was things like that.<br>
<br>
Joking with Serge Hallyn of the LXC project (which sadly considers me<br>
the systemd expert) we were both wondering when Systemd would add a<br>
"Minesweeper" component and make it mandatory.<br>
<br>
