If you read this page, you'd notice this proposal doesn't have much to 
do with what systemd has evolved into today and the impact systemd has 
had and still has on Fedora (bugs, defects, system unreliability).

Like other have said, if people had known today's systemd in advance, 
they likely would not have welcomed it.

Also I do not recall any lengthy discussions on systemd when it was 
proposed. It was just one of these "Feature"-announcement pages hardly 
anybody reads. I recall later discussions when systemd became feature 
bloated and when controversial details gradually surfaced (TmpOnTmpFS, 
UsrMov, journalctl, packaging issues etc.).

That said: I have to repeat my mantra. Fedora's systemd integration 
needs a brake to consolidate systemd and to stabilize the distro.
