It appears from what I have read, that Redhat created systemd either 
directly or indirectly. The two programmers who created systemd, Lennart 
Poettering and Kay Sievers, appear to have been working for RedHat when 
they created systemd.  Directly or indirectly RedHat was involved and 
based on that I would hope that RHEL 7 is the most proper and best 
implementation.
