This isn't personal. It's a list of requirements that indicate where we need
to be in order to ship systemd as the default in Fedora 14. It doesn't
matter whose "fault" it is -- if it doesn't work, we can't ship it broken.

If it's possible to fix some now-exposed underlying issue by backing out of
systemd, and release engineering / FESCO deterimines that that's the best
fix, it doesn't mean systemd is a failure. It means that Fedora wasn't ready
for it yet.

Obviously if the item in question fails both with systemd and upstart, it's
a different sort of blocker.
