Since the majority of the Linux world is heading towards systemd, it makes sense for LFS to at least look at it.
Personally, I also like systemd (in fact, my last LFS build was using the systemd branch of the book). Again, the new and shiny effect applies here too, as well as the fact that it tries to consolidate the conflicting practices of Linux distros into one simple path. I also like the fast boot times and the fact that "initscripts" for it are much easier to write (once you get the hang of it). People can still use the old tried-and-true sysvinit if they want to, but it won't surprise me if systemd becomes the dominant branch of LFS in the future.
