New filesystem/systemd packages in testing have changed the way we create system users/groups. That's done now via systemd itself or using a systemd hook. So every package that needs certain user/group existent or certain UID/GID to install its file will depend on systemd to be installed on the system.
Check https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/55492 - systemd is now part of base-devel. I think it's not consequent not to move it to base group. It's the only init system we support and therefor should be expected to be installed on every Arch installation from now on. User/group creating packages will need it installed in any way. Opinions? -Andy
