been using it since 1995. Patrick has not declared his stand on systemd as of 
Aug 2014. He only makes releases every year or two, which means the current 
version isn't systemd, but we don't know what the next one will be.

I've never had any problem with init scripts. My main beaf is with code that 
just won't compile

Isn't the problem going to be that if apache etc require systemd, that you'll 
need a systemd machine?
