Arjan and me are supporting systemd in many ways, with code, feedback, prototypes and exploration of unwritten mechanisms.
For example, at the Tizen Conference in May, I will be presenting a prototype `systemd --user` initialized desktop that entirely removes XDG autostart in favor of treating everything that starts as `a service`, even for user-started programs (such as, Xorg, your window manager, the session bus).
sysvinit didn't scale - we knew that already in 2009, which is exactly why we had been talking with Lennert and folks for a loooong time to come up with something better.
