The main point of the analogy is that, just as Subversion is basically CVS with the most glaring problems papered over, Upstart is basically SysV-Init with the most glaring problems papered over.
On the other hand, like Git, systemd represents a completely different way of attacking the problem at hand.
Myths not debunked but confirmed

Vim is better than Emacs, but Upstart is worse than systemd.
