-                <para>These functions are provided by the reference
-                implementation of APIs for new-style daemons and
-                distributed with the systemd package. The algorithms
-                they implement are simple, and can easily be
-                reimplemented in daemons if it is important to support
-                this interface without using the reference
-                implementation.</para>
+                <para>These APIs are implemented as a shared library,
+                which can be compiled and linked to with the
+                <constant>libsystemd</constant> <citerefentry><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+                file.</para>
 
                 <para>Internally, these functions send a single
                 datagram with the state string as payload to the
                 understood as Linux abstract namespace socket. The
                 datagram is accompanied by the process credentials of
                 the sending daemon, using SCM_CREDENTIALS.</para>

-                <para>For details about the algorithms check the
-                liberally licensed reference implementation sources:
-                <ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/plain/src/libsystemd-daemon/sd-daemon.c"/>

-                <para><function>sd_notify()</function> and
-                <function>sd_notifyf()</function> are implemented in
-                the reference implementation's
-                <filename>sd-daemon.c</filename> and
-                <filename>sd-daemon.h</filename> files. These
-                interfaces are available as a shared library, which can
-                be compiled and linked to with the
-                <constant>libsystemd-daemon</constant> <citerefentry><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
-                file. Alternatively, applications consuming these APIs
-                may copy the implementation into their source tree. For

-                <para>If the reference implementation is used as
-                drop-in files and -DDISABLE_SYSTEMD is set during
-                compilation, these functions will always return 0 and
-                otherwise become a NOP.</para>
