…(which is a library a myriad of other programs link to) can have a tiny dependency footprint too.

Or in other words, if you try to build a minimal container image, then it's certainly not systemd that's going to be the dependency hog that blows up its size.

Now, you might wonder about package managers: they tend to automatically generate package dependencies from shared library dependencies, so if we get rid of those, are we breaking all package managers?
