I think you actually got this backwards the developers of those
subsystems not just the systemd team that needs to be directly engage
and proactive in getting all of these critical systems converted cleanly
anyway the end result is the same we need to work together to convert to
systemd cleanly.

I don't have it backwards - my day job is to work on exactly getting this kind
of cutting edge feature out to end users.
When you propose and implement a massive change, you need to make sure that the
system as a whole still works.
Of course, the developers of code components *should* work with the systemd
team, but if they don't (don't like it, have higher priorities, whatever), then
the proponents of change need to do the heavy lifting. Heavy lifting can
involve education, convincing others in a *nice* way or actually having to do
the code.
We simply cannot ship something that would lose data or cause critical
components to fail for our users.
