As far as I understand none of the upstreams are actually requiring systemd itself (or more accurately systemd-logind), but the interfaces it is providing. And it also seems to make sense (why should every Desktop Environment implement it's own solution for this?). The good news are: 1. The public interfaces provided by systemd-logind are stable and documented 2. There is already one project trying to develop an alternative implementation (systembsd) The bad new: systembsd is an OpenBSD project, which means there will be *at least* some porting involved to use in on Linux. However, those guys have an excelent track record in writing portable software (e.g. OpenSSH), so I'm not too worried about this.
