Age verification clearly doesn't belong into #systemd. We should have never merged this. Instead this should be incrementally added to the kernel itself. I'm doing my part:

@brauner

Kernel is too high level.

Isn't this something that GRUB (or whatever bootloader you use) should already enforce?

@mndflayr @brauner Surely that is too late in the boot sequence.

Age verification should be built into router firmware.

Then the crazies can have their age verification and Linux can remain unsullied.

No packet under 18 years TTL should be delivered.

I should have prepared in advance for this at least eighteen years ago by saving all my packets each and every day.

This idea makes me think of this short story:

It's a beautiful story. Much more so than 18 years of bufferbloat.

@mndflayr @brauner TPM3.0 will have a PCR value for it.
