systemd-logind is optional and you would be able to use ConsoleKit instead if anybody had maintained it in the last 5 years.

Unlike e.g. upstart in its native mode, systemd can run SysV init scripts.

By "system logging" yjftsjthsd-h was referring to systemd-journald, not systemd-logind.

True, but on that point xe was correct because it's the one part of systemd that is neither PID1 nor optional; I was assuming session manager referred to systemd-logind.
