There's nothing named "systemd" in the FILE_LIST [1] for Slack64-current (which is what eventually becomes "the next release" at the appropriate time.

So it would seem the GP has been taken in by some rumor somewhere.

I thought I saw in the last release a note that the next one would come with systemd. It could be I hallucinated it. Maybe I'm becoming a real LLM!

RELEASE_NOTES [1] contains no mention of systemd (or at least does not contain that string).

README.TXT [2] also does not contain the string "systemd"

ANNOUNCE.15.0 [3] also does not contain the string "systemd"

If such a 'note' were included in the last release (15.0) it should have been in one of the above three files. So there is nothing in the release that appears to indicate a shift to systemd.

Slackware will never implement systemd. Father would not allow it.
