I don't know why such a simple, clear explanation of why this patch was rejected generates such hyperbole and apoplectic rage on your part. Explaining that splitting the makefiles would be fragile because of the additional complication involved and that while the build products are separable the build process is unified hardly seems like "asshoery". I'm not sure how this is supposed to be "forcefully ramming systemd down our throats" or how that is supposed to work with software? Does your computer get cooties if it builds some systemd binaries that you hold your nose and throw away at the end?

It's a bit like kernel developers love to do with submitted patches.

Rejecting a patch because it's 'ugly' is a privilege reserved for kernelspace. All userspace patches must be immediately accepted even if they are butt-ugly in case they solve a kernel maintainer's problem.
