to all y'all with the "it's just a text field": what if the field is "race"? "sexual orientation"? "jerks_off_to"? what the fuck has a system managing daemon got to do with any of that? and why would you preemptively put it in there without even a pretense of a fight?
fuck you make us! make linux illegal, in Cali of all places. guess how long that will last?

Yeah, scary. What about some other scary fields like: - Real Name - Office Address - Office number - Office telephone number - Home telephone number - external e-mail address I mean if those fields were stored, could you imagine the danger that Linux users would be in? You don't have to imagine, because those fields have been stored in UNIX/Linux since **1962**. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecos_field
