Good news. |

I've been able to make logind work with OpenRC and GNOME 3.6 (which |
| 3 |
means that GNOME 3.8 can work as well). |

Disclaimer: I use systemd as device manager. I don't know if my logind |
| 5 |
(there is a bug about it) works with udev without further hacking. |

Now, the problem is that, as I wrote before, we're more and more |
| 9 |
drifting away from what upstream is supporting. |
| 10 |
Today the source of all our troubles is just GNOME, I am afraid that |
| 11 |
tomorrow it will expand beyond it. There are technical advantages for |
| 12 |
both distro makers and desktop environment makers in using systemd |
| 13 |
(besides the disadvantages). For instance, having a centralized tool |
| 14 |
for collecting system and user logs is certainly something that would |
| 15 |
make our job easier, having working (or mostly working) "init scripts" |
| 16 |
provided directly by upstream projects would reduce our maintenance |
| 17 |
burden in the long run. |
| 18 |
Anyway, I'm not trying to convince anybody in using either init |
| 19 |
systems, I am just suggesting that you should try both and decide |
| 20 |
yourself. Which translated, is the same goal as making systemd more |
| 21 |
accessible to you. |
