Kinda, but really the autologin package should do the whole pam
conversation stuff itself, so it *should* be possible to make that work.

</I>
For the time being, we will still support sysvinit and console-kit.
Using console-kit will still work (although various caveats are still
present in the way that console-kit "tracks" sessions (clue: It really
doesn't do any tracking at all!).
><i> Maybe we could only add this information to the Errata, along with an

</I>
I'd rather not. We want people to use systemd by default and while
sysvinit will still limp on in mga2 it's definitely going to be a second
class citizen.
><i> If I followed things well, upgrades from MGA1 will continue using
</I>><i> sysvinit, so people won't get this regression on upgrades?
</I>
No, they will get systemd. We just need to resolve an issue with the
upgrade to make this happen properly (could be a urpmi bug or something
similar).
