I hope it makes it into Fedora 38.

If systemd wasnt such bloatware it wouldnt have to update every day.

252 was in October 2022, 251 in May 2022, 250 in December 2021.
Didn't know that 2022 had only 2 days.

Are you ignoring the many updates in between major version to be intellectually dishonest? Secondly that is a lot of updates for some stable software. Tsktsk. Go play somewhere else.

I'm not ignoring anything. This is just the reality. systemd has less major updates and also less bug fix releases (and that what the ones in between are …) than the Linux kernel.

No idea what your problem is, but the reality really doesn't speak for your point of view.

So your example of systemd not being bloatware is even bigger bloatware? Are you ok in the head ?

I would not call it 'bloatware'.
Just shitty software design combined with monopolistic ambitions..

Something else will eventually replace/supersede it.

As a bunch of code, it could have gone way worse..
