systemd ten years ago:
Read-ahead implementation dropped: in the age of SSDs the benefit is not big enough to have this. All systemd developers have SSDs and no more spinning disks, nobody could/wanted to support this anymore. The idea was to read-ahead the bits needed during the boot process and remember it next time, for faster boots. But with SSDs, this support is dropped.
I’m still booting on an HDD btw
