If the vore was as close as it was in this case, it begs the question of 
a proper cost analysis. How much extra burden is now generated in 
ripping systemd out compared to fixing the known/open bugs?

We definitely lose a key component here and the "reward" is seemingly a 
lot of extra work on the QA process and participants. It's something 
that should never happen again. We all learn as we go, but given the 
collected wisdom of our community, it surprises me that we came to this 
decision this late in the release cycle.
