I don't think that dropping an architecture is necessary, patching systemd should be viable. Sysvinit had a lot of patches in the Debian package that weren't included upstream for a long time. There's no reason why the same couldn't be done for systemd. It seems that cgroups is the main issue and systemd can already work without them.

A fast boot time is quite important for embedded systems. I'm looking forward to using systemd in a year or two for some embedded systems that I run. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
