That's some brokenness, this has worked properly since the '60s!
If this is to be the new normal, what is the proper way now to find out 
whether anyone is currently logged in and using the system? I have a 
number of scripts that rely on this.

A purely practical, real world example has just arisen. On my Fedora 21 
box a yum update has just pulled in a new kernel and nVidia drivers, 
which mean a reboot when convenient. Now is convenient for me, but 
typing "who" reveals that I am not alone, so I should schedule it for later.
