This was exactly my point. MATE Desktop being dependent on LightDM in Fedora (that can possibly be changed). However if LightDM had full systemd/logind support then I'm all for it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe XFCE, LXDE and MATE all use LightDM and I think there were plans to get rid of KDM on KDE in favor of LightDM as well.
