I don't see non-systemd Linux distributions as being different from OpenBSD, or other Unix systems. If you want to provide compatible interfaces to systemd without using systemd, then you'll need to engage with the systemd developers to make sure that APIs are suitable for your implementation. I don't plan on doing that work, as it would just use up the time I'd freed up by not having to maintain 2 separate versions of the power plugin and session tracking code.
