Hey @kde with the recent birthdate field being introduced into systemd and the lead developer being obnoxiously stupid about it, Plasma desktop relying more on systemd feels wrong.

Given the circumstances, I urge you to please reconsider systemd dependency on KDE platform and if possible, please think of alternatives.
When you said X11 is getting axed from the codebase, I was ok with because Wayland has improved significantly over the years and offers more almost all the functionality from X11; systemd is different.
This post is an attempt to make my case as a (happy and satisfied) KDE Plasma user for few years so please think again about getting in bed with that project.

@shanmukhateja @kde I think it's possible to set a fake date of birth? There's no way to actually verify it via documents...

There are no hard dependencies on systemd in Plasma, nor are there plans that there be:
KDE (@kde@floss.social)
Attached: 1 image A quick anti-FUD FAQ to debunk "the KDE is forcing systemd!" hoax—a thread 🧵 Q: Does the Plasma Login Manager require systemd to work? A: Yes. Q: So you ARE forcing Plasma users to use systemd!!?!?! A: No. The Plasma Login Manager is one of probably half a dozen Login Managers (or more) that can boot Plasma. We made PLM because it will give distro creators a cool piece of kit that can (not "must", not "should": *can*) be tacked onto a system to boot into Plasma. 1/3
