What you quote is the justification why a new field should be added. You can’t just say e.g. a Wardrobe number should be added without justifying it, otherwise it won’t be accepted. You can say a Wardrobe number should be added because recent scientific developments suggest that some wardrobes open up new worlds, so it became necessary to extend the address field.

This doesn’t mean systemd would enforce anything or go into the politics of certain jurisdictions. It just enables distros to use this field, and it’s up to the distros what they want to do with it.

Out of curiosity: do you also find it weird that (I’m assuming) you use hour:minute order when reading the clock, instead of minute:hour? Would saying the minute first make more sense to you?
