Hold it right there - before there are misunderstandings:

I never said it was a bug that needed fixing in systemd. I merely pointed out that which change caused it to happen to surface.

The bug though is that the systemd maintainer introduced this without talking to the kernel maintainer...

As a current openSUSE Kernel still has:
> zgrep FW_LOADER /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y

Pleae, look beyond your garden - if you are already aware that a change in your package requires a fix in something else - why not coordinate those two changes?

As such: should you really decide to 'wontfix' that, there is likely not much I can do, but it will not make the issue go away.
