   Of course, you don't have to implement everything systemd can do.   
      
   I have   
      
   ● polkit.service - Authorization Manager   
   ● lvm2-lvmpolld.socket - LVM2 poll daemon socket   
   ● polkit.service - Authorization Manager   
   ● lvm2-lvmpolld.socket - LVM2 poll daemon socket   
      
   Did not occur to me to check this way. So openSUSE Leap 15.6 is still   
   using polkit. I thought I heard otherwise.
