So since you don't use it, you... don't use it ;) . In this particular case, my understanding from the previous discussion is that UPower expects certain functionality from systemd at runtime (IIRC it doesn't actually *need* systemd, it just assumes that it takes over the same functionality as pm-utils). So, specifically, a systemd user is to me (and probably to most people) somebody who *boots* with systemd.
