I would also find this very helpful for doing portable configuration
management between OS versions. If the versions can't be listed inline
in what are already somewhat verbose man pages, perhaps a separate
feature version matrix could be maintained or generated?
For an example of what this could look like---if it doesn't already
exist---the Bash Hackers Wiki maintains one for Bash to which I very
often refer:
<https://wiki.bash-hackers.org/scripting/bashchanges>
Something this useful would be great to show to the systemd-averse, who
tend to cite instability of systemd's interface as a reason to reject
it. Similar portability tables like this are already a great start:

Maybe we can bring back the light.
