Description Joshua Lock 2016-06-28 12:19:07 UTC 
In Fedora 24 the Fedora project split their systemd package into two:
* systemd-udev -- for using systemd on bare metal
* systemd-container -- systemd services required to run in containers and virtual machines

Emulating this split would be a useful first step in reducing the on-target footprint of the systemd package.

    systemd: split systemd-container
    
    Split container/vm related units into a new package, systemd-container.
    
    The split mainly references Fedora 24, with a few differences.
    Apart from the bash and zsh completion files, the differences include
    adding systemd-spawn@.service into the systemd-container package.
