This should + decrease systemd footprint both in memory during runtime and on + disk. Note that the shared library is not for public use, and is + neither API not ABI stable, but is likely to change with every new + released version. Packagers need to make sure that any package built + from the systemd sources has a strict versioned dependency on the + right package for this shared library. * Configuration for "mkosi" is now part of the systemd repository. mkosi is a tool to easily build legacy-free OS images,
