----------------------------------------
A lot of Linux distributions are currently going through a transition from some 
$other-init system to systemd. In this transitional phase it's not uncommon to 
have both systemd and $other-init to run in parallel and do different things.

Currently it seems that if systemd is detected and if it is the default for the 
platform the service provider will just use systemd, regardless of if it's 
actually being used as the init-system instead of just the udev replacement 
part of it, for example.

The idea would be to extend Puppet to lookup who actually is the process with 
id 1, init or systemd or something else entirely and set the provider 
accordingly. This would hopefully ease administrators' burden while the 
distributions they use are in this transitional period as they won't have to 
micro-manage the service provider per machine.
