I think it would be good to finish discussion in thread
[OE-core] RFE: make the init manager an image feature (again)
and resolve systemd situation asap, otherwise we're risking
meta-openembedded release or quality of such release.

meta-systemd is broken for >month so people cannot even test it
with current master and couple of important meta-oe developers are
against changing meta-systemd so it gets compatible with current oe-core
but breaks their use-case and also there is no plan for upgrade path
from danny+meta-systemd to Yocto-Project_v1.4 release.

Stalling that discussion till milestone 5 or 6 won't help resolving it 
to work for everybody.
