This is especially true for systemd (I consider the probability of people to depend soley on upstart to be lower) - after some long thinking about this I came to the conclusion that I cannot vote systemd above further discussion in the current scenario. (Also I hope but don't expect that the discussions we had on our list are enough for maintainers to not try to force a specific init system on our users.) Thus voting U, F, D, O, V.
