Are we sure the systemd-255 PR is ready for the next release?

We had a discussion yesterday, and we are pushing to release the systemd-255 PR for the next release. In case, there are too many blockers we would go without it.

That's fair, didn't know about the discussion.

From what I understood, it's better to have the systemd upgrade as fast as possible so that it is available in the alpha channel to be tried on, given that we have the CIs passing and a good degree of confidence that the change is in a good shape.

Fixed a typo in the Beta version (it's 3874.1.0, not 3878.1.0).
