Developer Forks systemd To Remove BirthDate Field

Jeffrey Seathrún Sardina last week published Liberated systemd, a one-person fork that removes the newly added birthDate user-record field tied to California, Colorado, and Brazil age-verification laws. The fork deletes the field, homectl options, man pages and tests across 12 files, and sits 37 commits behind mainline; maintainers present it as a protest rather than production-ready code.
Scoring Rationale
Timely community fork highlights privacy concerns and distribution implications, but remains a one-person, unreleased project.
