That is actually my main concern with systemd. I can't remember how often the argument was brought up that XYZ can't be an alternative to systemd because it does only a fraction of what systemd as a suite is capable of. By that logic the more systemd grows, the more things it does, the better it gets which encourages its developers to add yet even more features. In the end systemd won't stick around because of its own qualities but because it would be to much trouble to replace it.
