Why would we care?

It's our goal to have ALL network daemons be socket-activated eventually. 
This is a distribution-wide feature and as such software MUST be patched to 
support it. Doing this kind of integration work is what a distribution is 
for.

We need to stop treating upstream like a sacred cow. It is OUR decision as a 
distribution what we want to ship to our users. The Free licensing of the 
software we ship explicitly allows us to adapt it to any and all of our 
needs.
