Maybe the coreutils maintainer is already working to backport this
simple patch in time for trixie, or else you could help him.

You may use w(1) for the time being.
w uses the systemd method by default now which is why it reports users.
I thought there was upstream coreutils support for systemd in gnulib[1] which
is what who uses, so in theory it's a configure change.
I must admit I don't fully follow coreutils source so may have missed something.
