Ubuntu is following Debian on using systemd, "as soon as it offers a credible quality of service to match the existing init" (which might happen pretty fast): http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1316 http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1316 I don't see software installation unification happening any time soon. There are layers like packagekit that sit above package managers, though (but mostly under-developed because, well, what is the point?). AFAIK, systemd makes sense in servers (possibly even more than in desktops), because of its support for container setups. Not sure, though.

  Upstart was started before sytemd unlike Mir and Unity (in comparison to Wayland and Gnome 3) and it's creator having come in support of systemd[1], Ubuntu's upstream, Debian, going with it and on top of that Shuttleworth already admitting defeat. I have to seriously doub that. [1] https://plus.google.com/111820116102071851808/posts/4eHMc2tvp7C https://plus.google.com/111820116102071851808/posts/4eHMc2tv...
