Something like that. We had already begun work on v208 and we wanted to get this release out as soon as possible. It would have been unlikely to get v212 ready as part of the sprint as we had a lot of other topics on the plate as well. Why did we want to get v208 out? Because it contains the reworked cgroup handling which as a consequence means that a standalone logind needs systemd or an equivalent cgroup manager for creating and managing the cgroup hierarchies. The current version of systemd-shim doesn't provide that functionality/those interfaces (yet). Anyone interested in keeping standalone logind working is invited to help the systemd-shim maintainer to implement and test this functionality (it will most likely be using cgmanager for that as far as I heard). Having v208 out is a prerequisite for being able to test those changes in systemd-shim. We are certainly planning on having something newer then v208 for jessie, some preliminary work has already been done for v212. Cheers, Michael
