I don't consider boot performance analysis code to be an essential systemd
script. I still think there should be an in-tree, C-based tool to export
the boot performance data and a separate, in- or out-of-tree, Python-based
tool to perform the analysis.

The current Python tool is not good for extracting boot profiling data on
embedded systems that can't run Python. It would also be good to encourage
more people to build other boot-analysis tools that consume the profiling
output from systemd. My model for this is xhprof, which has a C-native PHP
extension, JSON-based output, and some PHP scripts you can run anywhere to
browse the data.

Those thoughts aside, what are packages like Yum doing?
