As I said to András, you have the wiki: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd > Is there a compelling reason to switch now? Well, as stated earlier, ConsoleKit is basically abandonware. Samuli mentions "contingency plans" for when CK is no longer an option, but all and any of those paths will be playing catching up with systemd. The standards are now being defined by systemd. And, of course, there are those of us who believe that systemd is in fact a much better option than OpenRC (or any other init system). Thanks to the efforts of people like Fabio Erculiani, right now is kinda easy to switch back and forth between systemd and OpenRC. In Sabayon (a Gentoo derivative) you can actually choose at boot time wich init to use. I would say try it now, when it is relatively easy to switch.
