There's a systemd branch at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/systemd/ - it's build and boot
tested, albeit with some test failures in 'attr' that I need to
investigate. Just in case you fancy giving it a try.

I'm not sure it'll be merged into LFS proper any time soon; I think I
need to invest in an industrial strength flame-retardant suit before I
seriously propose the merge :-)

Regards,

Matt.
