That response appears to be written by a systemd developer, so it's not
exactly surprising. And the writer immediately goes into a contradiction:
# Things that interact regularly with PID 1 over a bus or socket but are
# isolated by process and privileges. This includes a handful things, like
# logind and the journal.
Which he had to begrudgingly admits later, is not exactly true:
# This is a reasonable request, and I’ve been pushing for more modularity
# around parsing for a while.
Except that he fails again. This is not about parsing. He then goes and
builds a big house of cards, focusing on parsing, etc… The problem with a
simple command crashing PID 1 is that it's just a parsing problem.
Year, right. This type of an intentional blind spot is quite typical, inside
the systemd reality distortion field.
Besides, throwing a well-deserved temper tantrum is not such a bad thing.
