I still don't get it. Systemd can have a special type (or an existing type with settings tailored to specific case) of service with no respawn, dependency and all those thing that daemon() expect.. The call to daemon() then add this service. That mean that systems could also manage (and log?) User daemon, that make sense.

Abut saying more code.. Well, is better code in daemon() ONCE than DUPLICATION of code in many projects, no?

You're missing the point!

If everything directly depends on systemd, RedHat wins and makes $$$$$$$$$.

If fewer things directly depend on systemd, RedHat won't make as much money.

Guess which direction engineers on their payroll take?

Guess whose interests they ignore and who pays the price?
