Then they should do it again.

That doesn't mean that users shouldn't get to vote.

That someone or something switches to something doesn't mean that what
is being switched to has any particular value or is any good.

I think in further posts you even say that there is no alternative
available for things brought about by systemd.  Switching to something
because there is no alternative means that it wasn't possible to make a
choice.  Am I to assume that all major distributions were forced to use
systemd?


I don't know about logind.  Why would that be required?  I can still log
in without just fine when systemd isn't used.
