What is systemd being replaced by?

systemd vs initd vs upstart. I am pretty sure systemd will be gone soon too as well. Syntax is harder than upstart for example.

I'm sorry, that ship has sailed. systemd is more than just a init system at this point. Anyway, I'm also curious about what is replacing it soon.
