This is the point. If a daemon has been customized for systemd (which some have, and hopefully more will), then it will expect systemd to set up its communication channels for it and pass them to the daemon on startup, it might also expect systemd to do many other tasks which daemons traditionally would do themselves.

Daemons customized to require systemd will actually require systemd. Now, systemd is a Linux only platform tool and most upstream don't target their software to Linux only. I don't expect much daemons requiring systemd to be started. If they do, users who want such tool will use systemd and such daemons would naturally be out of the scope. -- Nicolas Sebrecht
