I hope discussions continue on Fedora lists as well.  systemd impacts 
lots of fedora users who just read Fedora lists.  I've subscribed to 
gnome, network manager, btrfs, virt, lvm, selinux, anaconda, kickstart, 
desktop, and etc.  Sure, folks subscribe to more lists than that, but 
when you can't spend much timre reading the lists, having discussions 
concentrated in your distro of choice's lists frees up precious time to 
actively participate in testing.  As a Fedora user and tester it is far 
easier to just peruse the Fedora lists.  Once systemd settles in and is 
no longer viewed with suspicion, then maybe add upstream for the rare issue.

Please don't be a wet blanket, folks, let the discussions continue here.
