I definitely dislike the format Lennart has chosen for announcing these changes. Due to Mastodon’s character limit, each installment is spread over several posts. Reading the whole set of posts is truly a hassle.
I feel like the article missed one of the changes with the highest potential to break stuff:
Support for System V service scripts is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please make sure to update your software now to include a native systemd unit file instead of a legacy System V script to retain compatibility with future systemd releases.
Only deprecated for now and I don’t blame them for putting this on the chopping block. I suspect this will cause quite a few headaches for distros that package software that has resisted explicit systemd interop thus far.
Systemd sure has eaten quite a bit of functionality. I’m actually looking to move away from it but that’s purely the rebel in me wanting to keep my Linux installs open to variation, though I do have some criticisms as well (nothing new). Sadly it means moving away from Arch systems.

It would be better if he was using an instance with a higher character limit – I’m pretty sure most (excluding mastodon.social) set a much higher one.
unprivileged container managers, excellent news

I suspect this is mostly Debian? Is there anyone else still relying on this?

There’s still Artix if you want Arch without systemd.
When will it include a fully functional Kubernetes distribution?
