Fedora is currently using Upstart, as will RHEL 6; and Red Hat have people on staff whose job it is to maintain it. Lennart has made it clear that systemd was simply a personal project of his, and has no connection to Fedora. In order for them to switch, the feature would have to be proposed for a Fedora release (14?) and ratified by FESCo. At this stage, I can't even see a draft proposal[0]. The fact they've committed to supporting Upstart for RHEL 6, and have been active in the feature plan (and development!) for 0.10, would surely carry some weight in the decision process that hasn't even begun.
