Hi,

Seeing this on April 1st I really hope it is a joke. If not I'm not
ever going to support GNU software or anything GNU related any more.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Do you regularly upgrade the elogind packages by Gentoo,  https://wiki.
gentoo.org/wiki/Elogind originally created by Andy Wingo for Guix? They
are now at Prep v236.1: see https://github.com/elogind/elogind

Additionally, are you using eudev replacing udev from systemd,
https://github.com/gentoo/eudev? It is also a fork of systemd code
maintained by Gentoo.

Sorry, I'm not subscribed to this list. Hopefully this reply comes in correct

What made you think of that? I've not said anything about "forcing others to
change their version"

Again, I don't understand you. Never heard about software where the users have
any say in what's being developed except when they pay for it. And as you know
money rules. But one fact is that corporations hiring people to develop software
are doing that for a purpose (and they all have their own agenda).
