Furthermore, it looks highly unlikely that Ubuntu will ever move to Wayland, as they are developing their own custom compositor called Mir, which is due to land in a future version.

In that sentence, substitute "Wayland" for "systemd" and "Mir" for "Upstart" and you will see that "ever" is, at least, a too strong word. It is quite probable, say within eight years, that all major GNU/Linux distributions but Ubuntu will have chosen Wayland and Ubuntu will then abandon its Mir project like it has just done with Upstart.
