Yes and no! The problem is they were middle (or rather, lower level replacements for initscripts, devfs etc. However, in the interests of marketing and integration (i.e., lockin) its looking like it will be a systemd+udev+pulseaudio+*kit desktop world eventually because the core software of the big distros are going that way, and dragging everyone else along as well, whether they want to or not. I expect the lightest desktops will be able to avoid it, but I am using LXDE without systemd now and would like to know if that will continue or should I jump ship now. Have a look at some of the long (very) threads about this on the gentoo and other lists ...
