Yepp, that's the last missing switch we need to toggle to make systemd
the default: in the .spec file there's currently a Conflicts from the
-sysvinit package to the upstart package. This needs to be turned into
an Obsoletes, in which case systemd would be pulled in as a replacement
for upstart.

All of that is already in the spec file (though commented). However,
before I switch that switch I want to inform the folks on fedora-devel,
so that they know what is going on.

If you want to play around with this you may checkout the spec file from
CVS and uncomment the respective line, and then rebuild and install the
packages.
