Re: [OE-core][PATCH 0/3] systemd: split timesync and networkd to packages

[ChenQi <Qi.Chen@windriver.com>]

I think using systemd-conf to solve your original problem is more 
reasonable.
After all, the extra rootfs space is very small.

Also, BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS is not supported well for deb package backend.
poky/meta/classes-recipe/rootfs_deb.bbclass: bb.warn("Debian package 
install does not support BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS")

Regards,
Qi
