journald is not optional. And it won't be. Sorry.

I am not convinced this is really worth it. This line has no effect
anyway if the dir is missing...

I am very much against this. Even if networkd is not used the dirs
should really exist so that libsystemd-network can create an inotify
watch on it without problem. It won't ever see any interfaces in it,
but it will at least not fail. It's really just three dirs in /run,
this costs barely anything.

I am totally not convinced splitting this up is really a good idea...
