[Bug 1572541] Re: [MIR] watchdog

[Seth Arnold]

Please consider using systemd's watchdog support instead of this
package. It's already in main.

This codebase is fairly baroque, parts feel muddled from unclear goals,
and parts of it feel downright misguided.

While this package probably doesn't represent much security boundary, I
have to think that using the systemd services instead would be more
pleasant.

See "RuntimeWatchdogSec=, ShutdownWatchdogSec=" in systemd-
system.conf(5) for details on systemd's hardware watchdogs.

If this doesn't work, please describe why, and we may be able to come to
an understanding.

Thanks
