FWIW, I did not read this as a threat, or at least, I did not read it as
suggesting that Ian himself would participate in this bitter rearguard action.
I read this as meaning Ian suspected that unless his GR was carried, various
anti-systemd people would not be mollified and their disagreement would
percolate down to individual packages and bugs, rather than being discussed
(and potentially addressed) at a project-wide level. As such, and I'm assuming
good faith on Ian's part here, I think Ian was trying to describe what he
thought was the likely outcome, and not specifically threaten to behave in a
particular way.
