Well it's a login manager (so a tiny bit security sensitive, no ? :), last i looked at the code it wasnt that pretty (https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-2945, https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1756 ...), and all distros shipping it heavily patch it with various features for systemd/logind/pam/consolekit/etc... a bit of a frankeinstein i'd say. Sure, it "works", but i wouldnt say it's the best maintained login manager out there :) And i'd argue that if grok X properties, you can easily achieve the same look'n' feel with xenodm. anyway; moving to ports@.
