Systemd-shim is there to provide functions by systemd on a system that does

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.
You mean all messages saying "it is just the default, you will have
choice" were actually false...
You'll have the choice to use sysvinit without logind or to use it
with logind if systemd-shim & co are updated.
The list of packages depending on logind is likely to grow so the list
of packages that you can install without an alternative is likely to
shrink.
Just what I said : it was a lie to speak of default with alternatives,
if less than a year after the alternatives are killed.
And looking at all the blocking bugs on systemd, I'm afraid. Such
major change should be done gradually with well tested software, not
software that beaks existing configurations.
I wionder why so much haste ?
