We got so far and after looking at the position we ended up I decided
it was easier to switch poky-altcfg rather than change poky and/or OE
defaults. I resolved that bug as "complete" as we now had testing of
systemd on a near enough equal footing to sysvinit which was the
concern people had raised. There are problems in oe-selftest and some
other corner cases but nothing people seem to be running into day-to-
day.

It is also quite amazing that the project, by design, has entirely sidestepped the divisive init system wars that have been gripping the mainstream linux distros for years (and still are). I'd say it hardly matters what the default is, if the other options are well supported.
