There is one big difference though.  Upstart does work and for a
"naive" user this detail that /sbin/upstart handles sysvinit job is
not really visible.  In the case of systemd this works "mostly".
Definitely much better now than when it showed up for the first time
but if you will scratch little deeper then various niggling
"imperfections" show up all over.  Maybe all this could be fixed in
time for a release or maybe not.  I think that waiting for F15 until
the whole environment matures enough was a responsible decision.

BTW - I run rawhide and do not plan to switch that back to upstart.
