What systemd has done is the following: They went “we speak for the distros utilizing our program now”

What they’ve done, is in the user info field (which already has a ton of information that almost nobody ever fills out) they added a date of birth field. They do not control what it’s used for, who’s going to use it, or if the user will ever bother filling it out. Perhaps nobody will ever implement to use for it, it’s it’s really nothing.

No, what they have done is kowtowing.

What? It’s like saying systemd is handing the government your info because they have a field for your real name and address.
YOU control what info goes there, if any. It mandates NOTHING.
You may as well be mad at vim because you text editor is capable of storing your birthdate if you go in and type it and save it to /public/myInfo.txt
