We plans to use the same method to solve multi-seat support with systemd.
Overall, the intention is to be able to use systemd, where this is
appropriate, but not to be dependent on it.
Thanks Slávek.. that gives some hope (although we know TDE cannot
influence upstream and mainstream)
Many are still unaware of the true nature of systemd and believe it is
merely a replacement init system. This is direct from the "horse's mouth":

Make up your own minds whether you want to support and use that without
choice.. many good people, who have no inclination to emotional rant,
already have.

Others either accept it or (with increasing difficulty) try to find
