Hello everybody,
slim has some known security weaknesses (for example it has no separate
greeter process thus the graphical interface is running with super user
privileges) and a lot of open bugs. Additionally it does not support latest
packages (consolekit and friends) out of the box.
Though lately the SVN got some commits and a new version has been released
the arch package has not been updated since it was flagged out of date in
February.

Seems to be a severe lack of bug reports made if there are so many
issues with it...
I had lots of issues when I used slim, but replaced it easily lxdm.
slim isn't a default and there are lots of choices available (including
other lightweight ones) so I don't see how adding lightdm and dropping
slim are connected.
