Well, I think Lennart is well used to being downstream, and he likes to rely on upstream doing what they claim.

This seems a classic case of upstream not sticking to its promises, which is the whole problem with the unixy philosophy of being liberal with what you accept, and strict in what you emit. systemd (and pulseaudio, etc etc) is strict in expecting upstream to do what they promised.

Cheers,

That's not Unix, that's Postel's Law, which IIRC originates from TCP/IP (where it is *also* an unholy mess, but of a different kind).
