You mean this?  https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-June/169411.html

The problem is that (I believe) this feature isn't in upstream systemd, rather it's Fedora specific.

If I'm correct and the above is Fedora specific, I would have thought the better option was to not use such extensions in the audit svn codebase;  rather patch them *in* via the Fedora rpms.   Or make it configure tuneable.
