Yes if you will use it on you rhel, it is not supported. 

But this was not my point. I am downstream maintainer and I am just
thinking if it is possible to rebase systemd in relatively conservative
distribution. So I wanted to ask upstream where can I except potential
issues. 

I thought that this could be an interesting topics for upstream because
I think that no distribution have  tried to do such huge rebase in one
major version.

An maybe this could be helpful for other distribution (is debian still
using 208? :) ).
