This is a somewhat separate issue, but: I think bundling the single
cgroup writer into systemd is a very poor design choice. I think the
bad consequences of that choice should be borne by the people who made
it.
By writing this, it strikes me that you must have seriously
misunderstood some fundamental concepts of systemd. The new logind
behavior is unrelated to the “single cgroup writer” matter, because
there is no single cgroup writer as of today. I spent quite some time to
summarize facts on cgroup management at Andreas’ request, and it seems
you haven’t even read them. I find this very rude from a member of the
technical committee to not try to understand the technical issues before
deciding what other people are supposed to do.
Which brings me to the other point: you are not going to decide what
people want to spend their time on. If systemd is selected as the
default, the systemd maintainers are not going to ask Steve to fix their
upgrades problem for them. And if upstart is selected, you will
certainly not ask members of the systemd community - from which Debian
would have just excluded itself - to fix Debian’s problems with not
having systemd.
