[systemd-devel] Targeting `systemd --user` for a distributed app without root access: dead-end or neat?

[Hugues Malphettes]

Hi,

We are discussing adding support for coreos's fleet to control a user
session of systemd.
On paper it is perfect to run a distributed application in an
infrastructure without root access.

The code changes to do this are very small; we are hesitant to go forward
as we are not clear what is the future of `systemd --user`:
https://github.com/coreos/fleet/pull/1393#issuecomment-199794235

Lukáš Nykrýn mentioned it is not clear how much changes it will undergo.
Until then there wont be much adoption downstream:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1198655#c4

So what is the future for this part of systemd?

Thanks for your help!
Hugues
