  • What you quote is the justification why a new field should be added. You can’t just say e.g. a Wardrobe number should be added without justifying it, otherwise it won’t be accepted. You can say a Wardrobe number should be added because recent scientific developments suggest that some wardrobes open up new worlds, so it became necessary to extend the address field.

    This doesn’t mean systemd would enforce anything or go into the politics of certain jurisdictions. It just enables distros to use this field, and it’s up to the distros what they want to do with it.






  • Chinese is also weird imho. If I remember correctly, they put the details of an action first in a sentece and the verb that defines the action itself goes last with some exceptions.

    Hungarian comes to my mind which is similar and always follows the context first, details later rule. They use “yyyy.mm.dd.”, “family name first, given name last”, “country, city, street, street number order for locations”, and the word order of their grammar is similar too, details are always at the end of the sentence.





  • This was never Orban’s or Hungary’s idea, it is something the previous presidency could not implement due to the lack of time and it’s now Hungary’s role to talk about it because the presidency is currently held by Hungary. This doesn’t change the fact that there are many EU members that are in support of the idea if implemented well. Anyhow, it’s not just for controlling citizents but legally keeping political opponents at check, which is even worse.
