I don't worry about boot up times much either.  Here is why:

root@fireball / # uptime
 18:09:00 up 48 days, 11:18,  3 users,  load average: 0.18, 0.25, 0.30
root@fireball / #


As long as the local power company gives me power, I'm running.  My rig,
fast as it might be, pulls significantly less power than my old rig that
is only about a tenth as fast.  So, faster rig, less power.  I can
handle that. 

As long as I can have good uptimes, I just don't see any need to convert
to something I only use once every couple months. 

Now for someone who has to reboot a lot, sounds windowish doesn't it,
then by all means convert to systemd or whatever suites your fancy.  As
always, what works for one doesn't suite the needs of another.  That's
why we use Gentoo.  We get to use what suites us.  ;-)
