Well as a brand new F15 user, it was certainly confusing to me. I'd installed an F15 vm. systemd was confusing enough that I just deleted it, expecting to try it again once the dust had settled. Maybe there really are sites that effectively describe systemd (I didn't check the ones you mention), but how in the world would a user know about them when the user has a problem with systemd. I certainly didn't. As an earlier poster said, man systemd (or systemd --help) is the first obvious step. It's not google "systemd fedora".
