Maemo and WebOS are dead, Red Hat will switch to systemd with RHEL 7, Fedora already did, as did NixOS just days ago (http://www.mail-archive.com/nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl/m...). Debian offers systemd in its unstable branch (they also have to ship sysvinit for the time being because of kFreeBSD). What does that leave? ChromeOS, because Scott James Remnant works there. Surprise, surprise...

Systemd wasn't an option for Maemo because Systemd came after Maemo.

I think that's pretty unfair to ChromeOS. Scott doesn't even really work on the system initialization part of ChromeOS, he's been working on Bluetooth support for quite a while. I think the reason systemd hasn't been investigated is more likely because the current system works and making system services boot faster hasn't been one of the most pressing problems for the project.

Fast boot is one of the important goals of ChromeOS. Systemd was not investigated because it will needs fine-tuning to work faster then the existing optimized boot and nobody have done the required work.
