Systemd is a LLM-slop project now.

Systemd-udevd is replaced by eudev currently, which shows that other compoments of systemd can be removed or replaced too.

Systemd-standalone-* like etmpfiles and esysusers are unnecessary.

About elogind: it is considered not very useful. It is harmful somrtimes. It forces my machine to suspend and hard-reboot when I was compiling GCC.

Xorg/Xlibre/Xenocara works well without elogind, seatd, consolekit and polkitd, which means that a "logind" is not a critical part for GNU/Linux.

Only GNOME/KDE force the use of elogind, so I think elogind can be optional.

Most packages depending on elogind at present won't be malfunctuonal without elogind, so it's possible to make elogind optional.
