I think systemd does clearly aim to be a Linux standard. A number of features exist specifically for the sake of allowing better cross-distro compatibility. Some previous distribution-specific interfaces on Fedora have been deprecated. Upstream has explicitly talked about a goal standardizing interfaces between distributions and about specific integration issues with other distributions that affect systemd design (for example in http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/on-etc-sysinit.html). Some GNOME features have started using systemd interfaces and deprecated the previous implementation (at least ConsoleKit). The goal seems to be to eventually have systemd in a position similar to udev, which is now quite "standard" and is not usually considered as "distro-specific" software. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
