Since, I am a co-maintainer of systemd and watching bugs flow through, 
I think we need a more concrete list of what is missing/needs to be
fixed for this to be acceptable for Fedora 15.  I think, off the top of
my head,  I would like the following

* Fedora documentation, especially the longer guides to be updated to
cover systemd extensively
* system-config-services needs to work with systemd native units
* since s-c-services uses chkconfig, chkconfig needs to be hooked up to
systemctl
* shutdown semantics needs to be fixed
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624149)
* Direct option for switching default target
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=627277)
* Option to revert settings
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=630174)
