This reads funny :-)

... and upstream has stated that while its not worthwhile to actually share
code, they are supportive (and encouraging) common
interfaces/formats/protocols for startup tasks (such as DBUS interfaces and
whatnot for setting hostname, etc) so implementations on other platforms --
eg. the BSDs -- could support applications designed for systemd.

IMO its very refreshing to finally see these deficiencies being tackled.
