Lots of tin foil hat wearing morons making mountains out of molehills. All that happened is a DOB field was put in so people can add their DOB IF THEY CHOOSE TO. It is not mandatory, you can leave the field blank.

Hard disagree. This represents the pot getting turned up on the frog.

I acknowledge you are factually correct. However, once this field exists, it enables later reference and/or mandatory dependencies.

There is no positive use case , but lots of possibly negative use cases. For that reason, it shouldn’t exist.

How do commercial distros prevent getting blocked if not through this?
