+
+Well this isn't about migrating to native systemd specifically, but
+rather ensuring it doesn't break with system. The wiki page is more for
+the former, although, yes there could easily be massive overlap.
+
+I figured using the google doc would be generally easier than editing a
+wiki page, but if we prefer I can just migrate the extra data in the
+google doc over to the wiki?
