AFAIUI:

It's not clear that systemd-shim is going to be updated to deal with
systemd 208 (it works with systemd 204) because of changes in the
kernel's cgroup implementation because Ubuntu's switching to systemd
so it doesn't need to do so.

So unless someone packages Ubuntu's cgmanager and patches logind 208
to use it (and perhaps does even more than that), it's unlikely that
systemd-shim will be useful in jessie as a systemd
mini-/micro-substitute.

That could be. Personally I already use systemd on sid, so I have no problem with it.

 

I think it would be even better to avoid everything systemd, also systemd-shim, if you do not want systemd as your new init. That means avoiding Gnome 3 related software and policykit etc. But then people will complain about not automounting their drives and so on.
