Would the plan be for gnome-shell to also move to libgsystem2 then (Not
that it makes a lot of use; that could likely be changed easily).

            let GSystem = imports.gi.GSystem;
            GSystem.log_structured_print('GNOME Shell started at ' +
_startDate,
                                         ['MESSAGE_ID=' +
GNOMESHELL_STARTED_MESSAGE_ID]);

As far as I see, this is about the only consumer of libgsystem at this
moment in openSUSE.
