One might argue that the process _is_ working as planned, the review
comments are valid ones and need to be addressed.

Anyway, this whole argument is totally pointless, just let the upstream
development process work its way through the issues, and see what
happens.  In the meantime, to object to other developers doing work on
systemd to test out these changes seems very odd, who are you, or me, to
tell someone else what they can or can not do with their project?

good luck!
