It's my understanding that it was always the intention to default to
systemd in mga2.

Certainly the last couple times people have asked exactly the same
question on this list, this has been confirmed.

As I said last time to this question, I'd certainly be extremely annoyed
if mga2 does not default to systemd. I've given up a massive amount of
my free time over this cycle working towards this. I would be massively
annoyed if this effort was ultimately towards a secondary option.
