For the 2014-03-19 meeting as the Change Proposal has been announced on devel-announce list on 2014-03-10.
The Xorg xserver is a large piece of software which currently runs as root, making it a potential vector for attacks against the system. With recent changes made to systemd-logind it is possible for the xserver to let systemd-logind do device management for it, at which point the xserver will no longer need root rights. Initially this will likely be implemented as the xserver dropping root rights early on.
