   Systemd upstream has reviewers and maintainers from a bunch of different companies, and some independent: Red Hat, Meta, Microsoft, etc. This isn't changing, we'll continue to work through consensus of maintainers regardless of wh

   You don't have to build ParticleOS images on the machine itself, it's perfectly possible to build them offline somewhere else and download them from the target machine when doing an update with systemd-sysupdate. It's just th
