The new logind is not “broken by design”. Using the cgroups tree is the
most correct and secure way to identify which processes are permitted to
access specific devices or services. You might disagree with the idea of
a single cgroups manager or prefer a less secure mechanism in order to
handle corner cases (that have yet to be described), but that doesn’t
make the design less correct.
