18 They made it clear from the start that logind is not going to work for
19 non-systemd and that Ubuntu is doing something utter crazy.
20 We were going to ride with that horse at the expense of Ubuntu folks for
21 a while, but dropped the effort as futile. Now Ubuntu is stuck at
22 logind-204 and it's unclear what will they do next.
23 Don't try to twist it into anything it's not, it's not comparable w/ udev.
