Systemd's merging of e.g. udev on the other hand just annoy me. Since ConsoleKit isn't maintained anymore, it's natural that somebody develops alternative. But why should be multi-seat/multi-season part of systemd (and depend on it)? Regarding reboot and shutdown, it's possible to handle this giving regular users sudo permission to use /sbin/shutdown (or halt/reboot), isn't it? Regarding automounting, I thought that it's usually handled by gvfs? Why would anybody had to use systemd because of it?
