It depends on which version of systemd is in use.
Even if/when systemd is updated to strip the 'bg', it would not
be correct to say "and will be stripped..." as that isn't true for all
versions.
We could spell it out "and may be stripped from the option list,
depending on which version of systemd is installed", but I'm not sure
that really helps...
 "... and some versions of systemd will strip 'bg' from the option list"
 ??

Thanks,
