 CONTRIBUTING UPSTREAM:

-        We generally do no longer accept distribution-specific
-        patches to systemd upstream. If you have to make changes to
-        systemd's source code to make it work on your distribution,
-        unless your code is generic enough to be generally useful, we
-        are unlikely to merge it. Please always consider adopting the
-        upstream defaults. If that is not possible, please maintain
-        the relevant patches downstream.
