+Subject: [PATCH] 00systemd: check if systemd version is a number
+
+The recent systemd upstream introduced a slightly modified version
+string which included information about a git commit, which however
+broke the version check in dracut. Unfortunately, the (( )) bash syntax
+went along with it in certain cases and introduced a pretty nasty issue,
+when the systemd would boot up but with slightly changed environment.
+
+To prevent this from happening in the future, let's at least check if
+the version parsed from the `systemd --version` output is a comparable
+number.
