First of all systemd is the default init systemd and has been from F15 Secondly I'm pretty sure the legacy sysv init system maintainer is happy to give you the ownership of the component then you can maintain it for as long as you want... You probably want to add your self as as co-maintainer to several components and start reverting code bases and packaging several components separately you know for the once that have gone the full systemd route and for the once that have decided to drop the legacy sysv init support and the legacy sysv init script with it... You probably need a separate crew to do QA on the legacy sysv init systemd since I'm pretty sure that QA wants to only be overseeing and dedicating resource to support one init system and doing that well and that init systemd being the default one what ever that might be at any given time. For the rest of the items you listed in your post it's better that you list facts/test cases and what not basically everything else but a list of buzzwords and encase you are going to respond with the "sysadmin argument" then let me respond to that forehand in reality any competent sysadmin will adapt to the new init system as he does for various other code changes in the application stack that runs on the hardware he's administrating if he doesn't then I suggest you fire him and hire another one that can. Now if you just happen to be a sysadmin then I suggest you either get with the program or expect to be out of job tomorrow since there is plethora of competent sysadmins out there that are able and willing and after your job... If for what ever reason it just happens to be that you find any joy in maintaining init system(s) then might I suggest the Debian project since they might end up carrying three.
