I wouldn't be so quick to make that assumption.  Right now openrc
doesn't work on Prefix but there is a SoC project to change that.  Why
wouldn't we assume that somebody will do the same for systemd?
Obviously the long-term future of systemd/openrc/alternatives is
unclear now, but that just seems to be all the more reason to keep our
options open.

I'm not suggesting that we fully build-in support for systemd under
Prefix and so on, but rather I'm suggesting that if leaving it open as
an option now saves us a lot of rework later we should consider it.

(And yes, I realize that systemd is currently linux-only and why that
would make any use under Prefix difficult.)
