Suppose the systemd maintainers abandon their work. Recall devfs: https://lwn.net/Articles/139595/

It wouldn't be ideal if key maintainers disappeared, however it wouldn't stop Linux.

This might give you an idea of how many contributes to systemd, as well as the development pace:

I'm quite sure someone will be able to pick up the pieces if Lennart or Kay moves on to other projects.
