Irrelevant to Martin.

I meant this as a fragmentation from a broad perspective as in the linux 
ecosystem in whole which in turn reflects itself in upstreams like 
Lennart is about to do in #2621.

If you acknowledge thus start making an exception you must realize you 
effectively start making exceptions for *all* since there is exist no 
singularity in that act.
If the patch in that report gets accepted anyone can submit a patch that 
replaces wheel with another user/group and it would have to be accepted 
since no argument could be made against it, otherwise you would be 
acknowledging that you pick favorites and grant exceptions to only those 
favorites ( in that particular case Debian/Ubuntu would be acknowledge 
as an favorite which puts every other consumer of systemd to 
disadvantage ).

In relevance to this thread by allowing one you are allowing *all* and 
so while Martin and his integration play by the book others might not 
but as you say that can be dealt with if and then when that happens.
