Well… thats to be taken upstream, isn´t it?
Then why don't the developers or the distributions do just that? Nobody
cares when one user or another questions whether it's a good idea to
depend on systemd, and it might be much different if a lot of developers
and/or whole distributions would, in the interest of their users,
question this dependency and refuse their support eventually until the
issues systemd and software depending on it brings about.

Fedora does already depend on systemd --- and I would say completely.
Or do you see a choice here?
And exactly *how* is this relevant to Debian?
And still I think its important to take this upstream.
Upstream, from the users point of view, are the makers of the
distribution in the first place. I can't very well make a bug report
against systemd directly because Debian has decided to support it, can
I. That's not a problem of systemd.
To get involved with everything seems to have been a design decision of
systemd. What do you expect will happen when I make a bug report
directly against systemd, explaining them that it's broken by design?
Or should I make a bug report against the X server because it depends on
systemd? Or the other way round? Or perhaps against cups instead?
Or to *help*. Make a logind that does not depend on systemd. Offer it to
the upstreams that need it.
I'm sure it would be ignored or rejected --- even if I had the knowledge
to make anything like that and was able to keep up with what other ppl
are doing.
I do think that you don´t want change.
You expect distro developers to fix it for you. You are not willing to take
things upstream.
