It's not necessarily a fast moving target. RHEL 7 uses an upstream-maintained "208 stable" (and AFAIR Debian 8 will also use it). For embedded systems that never used sysvinit, systemd is unlikely ever to be an option but for others anyone can claim either that systemd is the best choice possible or that it's the worst choice possible without any proof either way.
