I intend to do a similar series of serieses of posts for the next systemd release (v262), hence if you haven't left tech Twitter for Mastodon yet, now is the opportunity. My series for v262 will begin in a few weeks most likely, under the #systemd262 hash tag.
In case you are interested, here is the corresponding blog story for systemd v260, here for v259, here for v258, here for v257, and here for v256.
