Canek,

You've referred many times to other programs that *require* systemd.

I'm curious as to the extent of these programs, and to what extent they 
*truly* require systemd.

I can't for the life of me think of any reason that server daemons like 
postfix, dovecot, apache, etc would or could ever *require* systemd.

I couldn't care less about gnome (don't use it, never used it, don't 
wanna use it), but what others are there?

Also, for those that do require it, what feature of systemd (that 
doesn't have an alternative available) is it that the program uses?

Thx
