Yup, let's face it, RedHat have bet the farm on systemd and the facilities/programs that go with it, so it will have to work and work well for 10+ years minimum.
RHEL7 and the clones have systemd v208. Debian Testing just had v215 arrive. Freeze is quite soon, so it looks like 215 will be the systemd version that ships, so the packagers will have to backport security fixes to it for the life of Jessie (say 2 years or so). Just wondering how much work that will be if systemd continues to iterate at the speed it is doing...
PS: why so many 'machines' (desktop clients, workstations?) running an unstable Debian I'm idly wondering...
