В вики такое:
systemd is under active development. Until now (1/2012) it has been shipped in Fedora 15+16, OpenSUSE 12.1, Mageia 2 (Alpha).
Current versions of systemd require that you customize your kernel as well as running a non-standard init process. These are pretty intrusive changes.
Installing systemd in Ubuntu may limit the amount of help and support available to you. If you have a commercial support agreement then installing systemd would almost certainly invalidate it. Even if you rely on forums etc, you will probably have to reproduce problems on a standard Ubuntu build before anyone can help you much.
Из блога Шаттлворта:
Rumours and allegations of a move from Upstart to systemd are unfounded: Upstart has a huge battery of tests, the competition has virtually none.
