Use multipass to launch a xenial VM with

$ dpkg-query -W systemd
systemd 229-4ubuntu21.1

Execute
SYSTEMD_DEBUG_LEVEL=debug /lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl

A few times, to notice that the output is "jumpy" and the order of the error messages is unstable. Realising that the sorting / application of the sysctls is not performed in a stable order.

Upgraded to

$ dpkg-query -W systemd
systemd 229-4ubuntu21.2

Rerunning the above command again, and again, and again, shows unchanging output on the terminal, meaning the order of all the things that were attempted to be written is now stable.
