My issue with this is basically leaving everyone that doesn't use
systemd to fend for themselves. We patch those apps to use logind,
remove utmp and then what does non-systemd distros do?

While having two daemons (umtps and logind) at the same time is not that
great of a solution either, it would be better to have an interface that
can work with different backends, so that in a systemd system, you'd
just use logind, but in a non-systemd system, you'd use a standalone
daemon, such as utmps, both using options using the same API on the
application side.
