[systemd-devel] fsckd needs to go

fsckd kicks malicious/broken fsck clients which send garbage, but if
you want to do the buffering explicitly I can rework the patch to do
that. That is, if we actually keep fsckd in the upstream sources :-)
I wouldn't like to spend time on this if you already pre-decided to
kick this out, but I would ask to reconsider, and instead discuss
what's wrong with the code.

Thanks,

Martin
