Fork time? Maybe all the anti-systemd zealots were right all along...

Edit: To address whether it is likely that this change will affect users: Gnome is planning a stronger dependence on userdb, the part of systemd where this change is being implemented. https://blogs.gnome.org/adrianvovk/2025/06/10/gnome-systemd-dependencies/

Final edit: The PR has been merged into main.

And yet those laws are definitely going to go to court and haven’t been passed yet even, so why the eagerness to comply???

    They have been passed and will be enforced in like 2 years. They may be challenged, but it's not a guarantee that a court would oppose it.
