The most profound change 
<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/systemd> is a behind the scenes 
switch to systemd <http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd>, an 
alternative to sysvinit and upstart released in May 
<http://www.h-online.com/news/item/Systemd-presented-as-SysV-Init-and-Upstart-alternative-991875.html>. 
Lately Fedora has been using upstart to launch the system and services, 
but has continued to use sysvinit scripts. The current state of systemd 
development and background information on the state of integration into 
Fedora is summarised by Lennart Poettering, the main developer behind 
systemd, in a post on his blog 
<http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd-update.html>. In discussions 
on systemd on LWN-net, he has stated <http://lwn.net/Articles/401441/> 
that faster booting is just one of many objectives for systemd – some 
systems boot significantly faster with systemd, whereas others see 
little difference.
