I take it you are not using entrance now. What are you using then to
log into E? To me having  DM is pretty important. I typically have used
ones bound to their desktop env like GDM and KDM, which KDM was dropped
for SDDM. But according to KDE SDDM is their official DM.

What is the official DM for E? Any? Seems to be a confusing situation.
many working on different things.

Are you talking about the code I am working with? Seems it could be
reduced further like with less user stuff, etc.

I wasn't aware you were actively working on entrance or spending any
time there. Last commits from you are years old, almost 2.

Again? You already had elsa, which become entrance. Which replaced the
old entrance. Now there will be another? In addition to what others are
working on? Seems like a lack of coordination or a coherent direction.

Why the need to keep re-coding entirely a DM? Given one that works does
not seem to exist at the moment.... I am all for improvement but should
be something usable and working today.

I have not started furthering just fixing. I just got it usable and now
I will start to remove things, change, etc. Consolekit will be removed
as its a dead project. Though likely replace with elogind vs all of
systemd, if not something else.

Thanks should be interesting, but not to worried. Dealt with pam a bit
for LDAP and other stuff. Still much to learn as always but at least I
have something usable now.
