Fork time? Maybe all the anti-systemd zealots were right all along…
Edit: To address whether it is likely that this change will affect users: Gnome is planning a stronger dependence on userdb, the part of systemd where this change is being implemented. https://blogs.gnome.org/adrianvovk/2025/06/10/gnome-systemd-dependencies/
Final edit: The PR has been merged into main.

Why does systemd need to verify age?
Seems like a horrible eagerness to comply in advance with equally horrible US state laws when this legal scenario is not even close to resolved.
In Brazil that OS age verification law just became effective. (One day ago)
Ada preparing to drop systemd
Meanwhile I’m screwed because I’m on nixos. ;-;
Through this conversation I learned SixOS (systemd-less NixOS) exists
Another patch should be added to rename “Systemd” to “Surveillanced”.
I’m really disappointed that someone hasn’t just made a standalone userspace addon to implement the feature, shoved in down California’s throat, and told them to come back with complaints once they can find where BSD came from.
Adding this type of “support” is just giving legitimacy to crappy legislation. I would not bother even creating the underlying system so some underpaid google intern can make his age verification app 2% faster.
This entire fiasco could have been a bash script that uses a new file in /etc to store birthdays.
