To someone who has seen a lot of this over the years, it was entirely predictable.
Indeed, I predicted it, less than a day before the first age dæmon (first mentioned in the very thread headed by my initial prediction), and a few days before the #systemd one.

The next progression of events will be apologists saying that this is entirely severable from systemd, and Linux-based operating systems can patch it out of their packages; and then some desktop environment making it a mandatory dependency.
I haven't been keeping track. That might have already happened.
