London Eastfield 🇵🇸[sigh] The *real* problem is not that there now is an _optional_ "birthDate" field in systemd. The *real* problem is that those laws are even proposed in the first place.
I'm not a systemd fanboi, but I am old enough to remember sysvinit. It SUCKED!
Pope Bob the Unsane@LondonEastfield why did sysvinit suck?
@bobdobberson This sums it up nicely:

However, there is always the option to run any of the other init systems. Me saying sysvinit SUCKED is just that. From a sysadmin perspective. Use what works for you!
