Please look up the meaning of "disabled" in some dictionaries and ask
some arbitrary people what it means.

First you (at least I think it was you) suggest to make bug reports
instead of discussing things on a mailing list, now you suggest the
opposite?

The bug report has been closed with a denial to fix the bug.  That's all
there is to it, with no point in trying to search for some sort of
backdoor to bring it back.  By denying to fix a bug this obvious, the
developers are beyond hope.  Try it if it pleases you to do their
bidding.

I guess I could make a fork of systemd which fixes this bug.  But nobody
would care, so why waste my time on it.
