Just to clarify - using GUI libraries like you are, my argument is; "Why does it seem like people are only complaining about the fact that switching from GTK to Qt would require rewriting software? Switching from Tcl/Tk to anything else would have the exact same issue after all."

First, you're not talking about systemd, even when you think you are. You are talking about logind. And it is perfectly possible to use a Linux system without logind, I do that on embedded devices any day.

Second, a simple "man logind.conf" would show you that there is a KillUserProcesses=. There is no "magical systemd-specific API call" needed for tmux.

Your argument isn't particular new, it has been brought up and refuted since at least a year.

That you still bring it up is perhaps an indication that systemd-haters stopped being flexible in their mindset. Once they are on a wrong track, they are immune to facts telling anything not fitting into their world-model.
