+- Disable utmp support
+
+  The announcement can be found at:
+  https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/MYIWGQEE54VJDBYXMQCEY7XKEAIUFLAU/
+
+  The user visible consequence of it is that /run/utmp file is no more created.
+
+  systemd itself doesn't depend on utmp anymore since "shared/wall: use logind
+  if build without utmp support" has been backported.
