As to not keep moving the goal posts for Lennart, I believe that

group (perhaps FESCo) should come up with a set of "do or die"
functionality for systemd, that can be tested for at the test day. That
way the goals are clearly marked. If it passes, hurray! If it doesn't
pass, then FESCo would be able to give Lennart a timeline to make them
pass, or enact the rollback plan. Obviously this timeline should leave
enough time at the end of it to enact the rollback plan without causing
Beta to slip. Or FESCo could decide that systemd is worth slipping for
and thus enact a slip until systemd can pass the "do or die" test set.
Either way, clearly mark the goals, let Lennart shoot for them.
FTR, this sounds perfect to me. I am not opposed to systemd a priori.
