Yeah, well, I'm sure *I* never make mistkaes or forget some...whatever.

I was ill at the end of November, and likely wanted to install a video 
capability for some reason. I plead stupidity and sick. It was an easy 
stroll through the yum log.

Every distro is vulnerable, but we don't have to leap into the cesspool. 
I'm tired of systemd and I'm not comfortable with the packages being on 
my system. It's easier to rebuild from scratch.
