Putting to much unnecessary stuff into libsystemd is something sub-optimal that they do. Its a bit lazy. But it is correct that people should link it like that.
> In the past, I have been telling anyone who wanted to listen that if all you want is sd_notify() then don't bother linking to libsystemd, since the protocol is stable and should be considered the API, not our C wrapper around it. After all, the protocol is so trivial
I'm actually surprised that they added the note about code duplication after adding the standalone implementation specifically so people won't do that.
