And despite all of the problems systemd has? It largely succeeded.

Which is why distribution maintainers *love* systemd to pieces. It
solves those problems so that they don't have to do it themselves, and
does so more or less consistently across different distributions.

upstart didn't so much fail as Canonical decided to embrace systemd
instead. And I don't blame them for that decision: much more cost
effective letting Red Hat do all that heavy lifting.
