It's an optional field in the userdb JSON object. It's not a policy engine, not an API for apps. We just define the field, so that it's standardized iff people want to store the date there, but it's entirely optional.

"I'm not picking a side" and "this future proofs standardization" is of little comfort, that is seriously suspect. I ought to look to alternatives to SystemD(odge the issue failed).

I was shocked it listed LMDE but it's a very old version (Linux Mint Debian Edition 2).

Based on a Debian version for which long term support ended 6 years ago...

So in other words, "Sure we built the people-crushing machines, but we didn't wire them up or turn them on."
