Hello Ubuntu developers, FYI:
Triggered by a recent discussion in GNOME about starting to use some systemd functionality [1], Lennart recently created this: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/InterfacePortabilityAndStabilityChart This shows the API parts of systemd which are, or are going to be, used in other software, which we would either need to reimplement as part of ubuntu-system-service (or a new ubuntu-systemd), or for which we need to install a stripped down version of systemd (which has been demonstrated to work, this is possible for some APIs). This should help us to plan in advance to avoid losing features and compatibility. that this does not just affect GNOME, but plumbing/low-level stuff as well: In particular, there are plans to integrate the udev functionality into systemd (as the circular dependencies become too hard to handle at some point), ConsoleKit is already abandonded upstream and GNOME, X.org, and perhaps other projects now start to integrate patches to use systemd for VT tracking and multiseat handling. For avoidance of doubt, in Precise we are going to stay with GNOME 3.2 and udev 175, so it's not necessary to squeeze any of this in right now.
