Agreed. This is a pretty big win if it really works in the real world. I'd say big enough to finally justify all the bluster about systemd in the first place. To date it has been more pain than gain for most users, this development promises to change that equation entirely by having a major feature to point to.

Not saying I'm going to stop saying nasty things about Poettering from time to time when he strays from the "Unix Way". Most of the time he seems to either be really wrong or really right. This time he is looking really right. MultiSeat is about as "Unix Way" as it gets.
