At this point we only really maintain systemd for F15. It's too much
work for us to maintain it for two distributions at the same time,
especially since systemd requires deep integration into the
system. Also, bug reports against the old systemd version in F14 are
only of limited use to us.

My recommendation to test systemd is to upgrade to F15. I have been
running it for a while now, and while it is a bumpy ride it generally
works.

Sorry if this is disappointing,

Lennart
