This just means that there is nothing else running on your system with  
"systemd" in the name.

Sorry, but you came into the middle of a conversation started by  
someone else, and all suggestions provided were directed primarily at  
him.  What is the "this" you think you need to remedy?

In the case of the original poster to this thread, he was not using  
systemd, but did have it installed, so I suggested that ps command to  
see if any part of systemd was running on his system, even though he  
didn't think there was.

In your case, if you have never installed systemd, then you should not  
have anything to worry about.  While many of us might call it  
"intrusive," as far as I know, it does not have the ability to actually  
install itself without you knowing about it.  If you have eix  
installed, you could even do "eix systemd" to confirm you don't have  
any of it's pieces installed.

Not updating your system may make it difficult to do once you are  
ready, but it does  not change the state of what you do or do not have  
installed or running.  If you need help when you DO try to update, just  
start a new thread with an appropriate  subject, and there are plenty  
of folks who will offer advice.
