That's a valid concern, but it's worth noting that not every component systemd replaced, (ie consolekit), was actually being maintained, so arguably we're in a better situation now from that standpoint.

Isn't it now much more difficult to figure out if certain components are or are not maintained?

ConsoleKit was used in many commercial linux distributions and still wasn't maintained, now that its part of systemd and systemd is maintained, does that mean that every component of it is as well?

Not to mention systemd being used in all current enterprise Linux distros with people being paid for maintaining it in missing critical usecases.
