At the moment we are utilizing a single small application called startactive to do startup (not using classic autostart) that starts the needed stuff with the due dependencies, so not much different to systemd. a first step would be starting that single executable by systemd, so if i understood correctly an "easy" porting, then i think does make sense porting it all to systemd making it start the individual pieces, porting the dependency graph, but no hurry in that. the problem related to systemd we have at the moment is that we still depend on consolekit to initiate the sessions, we'll have to see what are the needed changes here.
