As of systemd-205, this is no longer true. In that version, systemd-logind lost support for creating its own cgroups (which it requires to operate), instead delegating that responsibility to systemd, which already has to be able to create them for its own purposes.

So there goes the promised modularity of the systemd codebase. It seems the project's statements are not dependable after all.

This actually makes sense since systemd is on its way to being /the/ cgroup manager. Taking logind and patching it to call your own cgroup manager (or patching the functionality back in) is probably easier than resurrecting ConsoleKit.
