Thanks for the links, I looked briefly when you replied but figured
I'd need a quiet setup since this is unfamiliar territory. I have
finally read both documents, and they are very accessible even to
someone without prior knowledge.

I see. Do I understand from reading the specification that it was put
together during the Fedora 18 days? Do I understand from reading the
boot loader interface documented that systemd supported all this in
the f18 days too?
Well, it went through many revisions, and some of the bits are very
recent. For example, the pre-boot random seed stuff has been added in
v243, of which we only posted an -rc1 so far,
However, the basics have been around very early on, yes.
