and completely outdated , gentoo seems that already have systemd and
uclibc-systemd also . Although few arguments, seems to me, valid .

yeah this and Chris Adams wrote almost synthesized what I think.
what is the systemd goals ?  plans ? roadmap ? seems that systemd want
to be a operating system.

The other problem that folks see when systemd is widely spread on Linux,
that is not easy to export to other unix flavors, because the
dependencies on kernel and udev which I must agree is not nice, not just
for them, but also for us. 
I understand and agree with logind, localed etc, the sysconfig in
systemd and all what is about init scripts, but some other features are
more difficult to understand, we must think on Linux to be in embedded
systems to super-computer systems  ...
