It's FOSSA systemd fork has set out as a fu*k you to age verification.

jxvvt@itsfoss the headline is misleading, systemd did not add age verificiation support: https://blog.bofh.it/debian/id_473
zetabeta@jxvvt @itsfoss
this is slightly more complicated.
one uploader did introduce a age patch, and it got approved,
systemd reverted those changes.
itsfoss should do better reporting though.
my disclaimer: age verification is still a bad idea.

The Engineer Who Tried to Put Age Verification Into Linux
