Bruce,

Firstly, thanks for picking this up and running with it, especially 
seeing as you were originally (and possibly still are) quite opposed to 
systemd.

Your approach seems like a decent compromise, offering our readers the 
choice of which init system to use.

I only have a minor nitpick with the above.  Please look at the 
'Spelling' section of http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ 
- upstream prefer people to refer to the project/binaries as 'systemd'; 
would you mind adjusting the names of the symlinked binaries from sysd 
to systemd to comply please (it's only an extra 3 characters after all)?

Thanks,

Matt.
