In Germany I’ve seen some vegan restaurants replace some letter with “v” for vegan.

Like “vurst” instead of “wurst” (sausage) or “vleish” instead of “fleish” (meat).

I mean… if they meant “meat” literally as flesh/muscle fiber, then eggs would not meet the definition either.

However, wouldn’t that definition also technically mean that milk can also be categorized as a meat product? Same for honey. Someone also mentioned peanut butter in another comment, is butter considered meat as well since it often comes from milk?

And what about broth/stock? …chicken stock is common, does that mean that now it should be considered a meat product and you can no longer have vegetable stock?

I’d argue that the systemd trend actually is the one that’s change-adverse.

I remember that before systemd there was a lot of innovation when it comes to init systems… the flexibility of the script-based inits made it so most distros had their own spin. And there was more diversity in components that now are part of systemd. I’d argue that ever since systemd became the de-facto standard, innovation in those areas has become niche. Distros are becoming more homogeneous and less open to changes in that sense. Some components are becoming more and more interdependent and it’s becoming harder to ship, for example, Gnome, without systemd.
