And this is going to be implemented on the hundreds of thousands of Linux based servers in Datacenters…. How? Not to mention BSD based systems, hypervisors, IoT devices, etc.

Last friday I did a rollout of 36 servers. Looking forwards to having to input an age bracked for the intended users on each and every one of them. The intended users being other computers mostly. Do I use their install date, their date of boot, os compilation date?
