> Is anyone surprised that the systemd folks basically said "fuck you, we'll do what we want to" to everyone else?
I don't think that's an accurate paraphrase of "Consider this more a passing of the baton from upstream systemd to downstreams: if your distro wants this kind of legacy interface, then just add this via a distro-specific tmpfiles drop-in. But there's no point really in forcing anyone who has a more forward-looking view of the world to still carry that dir."
That kind of drop-in is pretty routine, so I don't know why this became a big thing we're all discussing now.
