but will you contribute to building the non-systemd packages, and working out how to retrofit old sysV init back into everything via patches, etc ? every RPM that interacts with systemd will need to be 'fixed' to do it the old way, with init.d scripts. repositories like postgres, EPEL, etc won't work, either, as their C7 packaged daemons are all configured to use systemd.

I'll do what I can providing people recognise I'm currently grossly overloaded with community and family responsibilities and currently am lucky if I get 6 hours sleep a day. However I'll try.

What is the advantage of patches over a virgin version that can be subsequently patched ?
