OpenBSD will produce shim for some systemd functionalities, including
logind, hostnamed, localed and timedated through GSoC (with Ian Kremlin
as student).

The current work can be found here:

From what I read on the OpenBSD mailing list, it is expected hostnamed,
localed and timedated interfaces to be completed by the end of the
GSoC. Some additional work may be needed for a complete logind
replacement.
Maybe it would be a good idea to support this effort but I don't know
how this could be done without interfering with Ian's GSoC.
