Systemd is available in the current stable, (see below) and people have had 
time to play and fall in love with it (or not).  So in how many Stable 
versions of Linux are you saying that it should be available, before those 
who wish to do so will have had long enough to play with it?

Description: system and service manager
 systemd is a replacement for sysvinit.  It is dependency-based and able to 
read the LSB
 init script headers in addition to parsing rcN.d links as hints.

 It also provides process supervision using cgroups and the ability to not 
only depend on
 other init script being started, but also availability of a given mount point 
or dbus
 service.
