This isn't necessarily true.  I used to run my laptop with systemd as
pid 1 and the upstart package installed, for historical reasons (it used
to run Ubuntu and was upgraded to Debian).  I agree that's not a
reasonable configuration, though.

Correct.  We are not talking about a huge number of systems in any
case (for either systemd or upstart).
