It is more about knowing how such a change would impact the whole distribution, and desktop-things in particular. So before we rush into "remove that dep...oh no add that other one instead...oh no, let's replace this component with a brand-new one which does not exist yet..." we must know exactly where we want to go, how to get there, and if the trip is worth the effort at all. Having elogind and consolekit2 in experimental is all about trying to see if some of the few glitches on the Devuan desktop can be easily solved. IMHO, this does not mean that we must solve *all* of those glitches, especially because the same concept of "session" (which is the root of all this evil) looks at best badly defined, if not totally bogus. We don't necessarily have to follow the white rabbit into its dark hole, especially because there is a high probability that the rabbit will turn into a snake. We have the option to stay outside and enjoy the sun...
