The systemd interface portability and stability chart lists logind as not being independently reimplementable, and I don't see that changing soon.
Steve Langasek was an Upstart project leader, and systemd-shim was never intended to be more than a temporary workaround, from what I know. Fact is, targeting the internal D-Bus interfaces is an exercise in perpetually playing catch-up.
- eeperson 11y agoI think the 'Reimplementable Independently' just means that it is straightforward to reimplement on top of systemd (although that isn't made very clear). Since the external login DBus interface is standardized, I can't imagine why it would be difficult to reimplement logind on top of another init system. edit-grammar
