14 Years of Systemd (lwn.net)
It is a standard practice to use milestones to reflect on the achievements of a project, such as the anniversary of its first release or first commit. Usually, these are observed at five and ten‑year increments; the tenth anniversary of the 1.0 release, or 25 years since from the first public announcement, etc.
