Systemd seems prime for a rethink like X11 has received with Wayland. I hope that systemd becomes the next target for cross-distro development and collaboration once Wayland has settled in a bit more.
This seems doable. SystemD is a bit heavy for embedded systems. Unit files provide a clean declarative syntax that a simpler implementation could accept. Admin commands and config syntax remain the same while the init process itself could be < 1% of the disk space.
