Without the insults, this would have been picked up on and sorted out
a long time ago. At least based on my experience.

I'm aware that you are a professional, that's why I find your claims
about the difficulty of understanding/recompiling... odd. By contrast,
my C skills/experience are virtually nonexistent, and yet I have had
no problems understanding/debugging/recompiling/patching the systemd
code.
