Hi,

note that "unnecessary" is quite judgmental.  Why is it unnecessary?
By default, guix tends to include "optional" inputs such as elogind.

The ChangeLog should explicitly say what is done, i.e. (sway)[inputs]:
Remove elogind.


What exactly is the goal here?  As far as I'm aware sway works either
with *logind or seatd or by having itself be setuid.  If the aim is to
support seatd-based services, I think having a sway-with-seatd variant
would be better.

WDYT?
