Not yet. I would like to see a systemd version of BLFS, but how to
do it is still open.
I have already presented a way that I think it would be the best. I'm
open for suggestions since I'm out of ideas.
Please post a list of packages that change in any way for systemd.
I'll
review what you have and present an alternative.

Packages that need any modifications are listed here:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~krejzi/notes.txt
Although, packages that only install scripts via make-install-bootscript
wouldn't need any modifications since <xref linkend="bootscripts"/> is
being used and we could assign bootscripts id to systemd units page.

Hello,
I have a possible solution for this, as I am already integrating Armin's
notes for systemd into the gnome branch.
I have kept the exact same structure of the book and added pages for gnome
as I have gone along.
I have created a systemd page and still kept the udev-extras page as well.
I have started adding a <note> section on the pages that require a systemd
unit file for systemd users.
There are going to be a number of changes to the configure switches for
gnome, to pages that are already mainstream, to accommodate some quirks,
for want of a better word, that the gnome developers have used in their
jhbuild tool (the changes are how I have successfully got gnome working,
so I know that they do work) so rather than just changing the lines out
right I was thinking of doing another section on the same page for gnome
use only.
That's fine for the gnome branch, but please don't change trunk.
With this approach, there would be no real need to perhaps have extra .xml
files specific to systemd and or gnome. Everything would be in the one
place.
As Armin has already said, there are few packages that need to be changed
so a seperate repository for a complete systemd BLFS really is not needed.
Once I have completed the integration with this approach, if it is not to
everyones liking, at least it will be easier to seperate things out once
you have decided which approach you like best.
I currently have a few modified pages ready to committ for the systemd
changes, then I am going to start with the gnome specific changes.
We really don't want to mix systemd (and thus gnome) in the trunk pages.
When you get to a place where you are comfortable, I'll look at a
method to combine the identical pages into the gnome book.
For now, it would be sufficient to change the gnome index pages to point
to the trunk xml for those packages that don't change. For example, in
the gnome version of postlfs/filesystems/filesystems.xml, change
href="xfsprogs.xml" to
href="../../../../trunk/BOOK/postlfs/filesystems/xfsprogs.xml"
Or possibly just change gnome/postlfs.xml so that
href="filesystems/filesystems.xml" is
href="../../../trunk/BOOK/postlfs/filesystems/filesystems.xml"
to get a whole chapter.
