For those interested, the Systemd release that's planned to include the controversial 'birthDate' field to user records, complying with age-verification laws, is v261 (see 'milestone' in the pull request). This release seems to be planned for May.

The current release, from some hours ago, is v260.1. I see that Ubuntu Noble (24.04) just updated to v255.

~~They already rolled it back.~~ No longer sure what I saw.

It hasn’t been rolled back. You can go to the systemd repo and look at the main branch for yourself.

Here’s the commit. Just click through and see if the code was subsequently removed from any of the files. You’ll find that it wasn’t.

where do you see that?

Someone posted about it here in one of these linux communities. It was a big blog post.

not seeing anything when searching for it, do you have a link? looking on the github it's still merged so it's difficult to believe

Maybe I dreamed it. Maybe it wasn't systemd.
