This is rather good news, as this is extension to systemd not to su.

As systemd is it's own echosystem of some kind, with all that new
session/terminal/process management using cgroups, etc. it is natural
that it needs su-like feature, which will handle all this systemd
internals properly.
IMHO systemd is some kind of an android like layer between kernel and
desktop applications, providing it's own api/libraties/sdk.
I bet gnome will became a GUI part of systemd at some point. With API
allowing building linux based applications using html5 :D
It would be perfect if it develops own tools (like this one) instead
of modifying the existing ones.

So let them build desktop oriented linux, and let us focus on the
server oriented version.
