Sure looks scary, but decidedly dufus. My first thought was that it had
to be residual April first nonsense, but wikipedia says on its systemd
page:
---------------------
Adoption
--------
Originally systemd was planned to be enabled by default in the Fedora 14
release,[3] however it was postponed. systemd is an optional package in Fedora
14, and will be default in Fedora 15.[4]
openSUSE was also considering adopting systemd for version 11.4,[5] however it
was postponed.[6]
Mandriva 2011 will adopt systemd.[7]
Arch Linux has experimental packages in the community repository for the
systemd itself and a set of basic units. [8]
Debian has experimental packages for systemd. [9]
---------------------
So it doesn't look like anyone is crazy enough to use it seriously ...
yet.
It seems worth remembering that ubuntu originated "upstart", the
event-based replacement for init (and therefore alternative to systemd).
I can't see Canonical ditching their baby in favour of some crazy
creation with possibly more defects than assets.
And in the unlikely event that ubuntu ever becomes awkward for emc2,
then a retreat to debian should provide safety from adventurous changes,
at least for a century or two. (Some say that's just about their update
rate. :^)
