I see but It's should not matter which company you work for or which 
distribution upstream developers favor otherwise you end up risking 
bias-ing the product on those favored downstream distribution or the 
(current) employment which is one of the root cause for the existing 
fragmentation in the first place.

And based on your response I have to ask, is someone higher up the Red 
hat ladder yanking your chain and thus the project loosing it's 
independence in the process or has your and other systemd's core 
developers view on the matter being independent changed?
