Yes, it can run sysvinit bootscripts from /etc/rc.d/rc{0..6}.d if they
have correct LSB headers, but I tend to provide native systemd units for
every package I install.

It is not about systemd, it is about ConsoleKit ... ConsoleKit has been
discontinued in favour of systemd-logind (new user seat manager), and it
is just question of time when we will have to add it in the book for
that sake. As for an init system, it is very fast, but it does have some
unnecesary features for "normal users" and yet even worse, too many
features for "minimalists" ... But that can be trimmed down. I may write
a blog entry about systemd and BLFS ... I'll let you know.
