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.
It doesn’t. The MR is just for an additional and optional field in userdb. The same as in any proper user directory service (LDAP mainly).
