All of which applies to systemd, its config definition system and its 
APIs. It is very much modular. The irreducible core is the systemd init 
process, journald and udevd. That’s it. There are 69 individual binaries 
if you choose to build everything, but all except that core are optional.

And the fact they are separate binaries should tell you how modular 
everything is.
