I don't trust this guy. He's generally very abrasive and very
aggressive. He joined or started a debian-devel thread on init systems
and tried to convince people that openrc was the solution to Debian's
prayers. It was the sales pitch from hell! He's especially unreliable
when it comes to systemd.
If the Ubuntu developers who've already split logind from systemd up
to v204 throw up their hands and say it can't be done for v205+, then
I'll believe it...
