rotational disk drives and was becoming less relevant in the
age of SSDs. As none of the developers has been using
rotating media anymore, and nobody stepped up to actively
virtualization.

systemd-ask-password gained a new --echo option to turn that

fight the network bufferbloat problem. It is believed to be
a good default with no tuning required for most workloads.

* "udevadm hwdb --update" learnt a new switch "--usr" for

+ terminated with SIGABRT (instead of just SIGTERM), in order
