Hi.

In the "systemd" fighting "Linux" "distro", "DeVuan", was a new release
made few days ago, that for X-sessions now rely on "SeatD" (do not know
why developers made such a decision, probably because with "ELoginD" it
is absolutely became impossible OR wanted also to get rid if it), and
consequently, "MultiSeat" is gone.

So, question is on your plans with "MultiSeat": do you plan to
accomplish "MultiSeat"/no, if "yes" then when do you plan to
accomplish "MultiSeat"? -- I need to know that in order to decide what
to do with the current "stable" version of "DeVuan".

Thank you for your work.

Andrey.

That was an excessive number of quotation marks. :)

What is your multi-seat use-case? The plan is to support multi-seat in 
seatd, but due to how rare multi-seat uses are it has not had the 
highest priority. Knowing about needs in the area would be useful though.

> if "yes" then when do you plan to accomplish "MultiSeat"?
As a general rule of thumb, unpaid work has no estimates and no 
committed schedules/plans. It happens when it happens.

Presumably the latter, although you might be able to reinstall it 
locally should you so desire.
