   systemd 26 vs 37/38 ... tho you're right yes there were/are some
damage control fixes ... which is the point - in a rolling release model
things like this would (should) get the proper attention they need,
instead of moving focus on to the 'next release' ...

   The 'old school' approach is/was to delay systemd (as happened in F14
as we all recall) - a rolling release would allow it to evolve in
testing until its properly ready - without the constraints of making F14
or F15 ... just allow it to grow up until it is adult enough to slide
into stable.
