It’s an optional field in the userdb JSON object. It’s not a policy engine, not an API for apps. We just define the field, so that it’s standardized iff people want to store the date there, but it’s entirely optional.

“I’m not picking a side” and “this future proofs standardization” is of little comfort. This is seriously suspect and now I have to look for alternatives to SystemD(odgetheissue).
