systemd-shim is not an reimplementation of logind, its a wrapper to allow the use of systemd logind and a few 
other components without requiring
systemd init. It certainly provides enough for a full GNOME support up to 3.14 and probably 3.16, we were 
using it in Ubuntu GNOME up until the
recent switch to systemd init, and it worked well.

I don't know where you heard development is halted, Canonical will need to keep maintaining it so long as 
they still have upstart in the archives.
