What about the cgroup management functionality that newer versions of
logind require? Should the systemd maintainers also reimplement it in
upstart?

And if upstart wants to use parts of systemd, why shouldn't the upstart
maintainer do the work for this? Or they could fork logind which they
suggested before... This would also allow having a newer systemd in
Debian.
