I lost track of this a bit, but MeeGo already switched, and Mandriva did
too afair. OpenSUSE will switch in the coming release.

Gentoo, Debian, Arch have it in the disro, but not default.

Or to turn this around: of the big ones only Ubuntu currently has no
official plans, but I am confident this will change too eventually
(hopefully as soon as their next LTS release is out).

Well, this has been requested before, and we'll eventuall provide that,
but at the moment we ask prople to embed this code. To make that
unproblematic it is really trivial code (just parses two env vars
basically), and portable, and liberally licensed.
