Upstream systemd should just cut the unused crap from their notification protocol and promise it's stable.

They probably couldn't change it anymore if they tried to.



The systemd notification protocol has been stable and documented as such for years (probably even a decade at this point): https://systemd.io/PORTABILITY_AND_STABILITY/


The whole protocol is "write READY=1 to the socket found in the NOTIFY_SOCKET environment variable".
