Interesting that it's kind of that simple. It looks almost like you could make a fairly straightforward fork that works with that, as long as they sysvinit packages are kept up-to-date.

I have to say while I dislike systemd it hasn't annoyed me enough to send me down that route yet.

How about age sniffing though? :)

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40954

Granted, this is not quite a thorough age sniffing requirement yet, but with the legislation in the USA and other countries currently changed, the operating system is de-jure forced to sniff off data from people and send it over to others, be it state agencies or companies. It's like the novel 1984 adapted to the modern days, but crap. With tons of AI slop.

		Like they added a field to be possibly law-complient? What's the alternative, Linux should just not run in places where this will be the legal framework? How is that field limits your freedom?
