@thesamesam@social.treehouse.systems Related thing I just noticed: in , GENTOO_LINUX_INIT_SYSTEMD forces CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH on. As far as I can tell from systemd's documentation, this is unnecessary (CRYPTO_USER_* appear nowhere in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/README). And there's a whole bunch of other kernel config options in a similar boat -- either not needed at all, or only needed for rarely used systemd features. It'd be nice to break this up and have it only force the truly mandatory options.

@zwol@masto.hackers.town Thanks, someone else mentioned the other day as well that it looks like this is quite an old systemd requirement that they gutted about ~10 releases ago, I plan on handling that first but then auditing any of the other options in there.
