ubu-15.10 will use v224 as well:
    http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/wily-desktop-amd64.manifest
and Arch and a couple other distro are using this version already:
    http://pkgs.org/download/systemd

v224 was released 3 weeks ago:
---
$ git log -1 v224
commit b2a0ac5e5b29c73ca7c0da23369a4769d5a91ddd
...
Date:   Fri Jul 31 18:56:38 2015 +0200

Khem's summary of the binaries is reassuring given that there
has been lots of churn:

$ git log --oneline v219..v224 |  wc -l
2167
$ git diff v219..v224 | diffstat | tail -1
  1367 files changed, 109907 insertions(+), 166577 deletions(-)

I'm skimming the NEWS file from 219->224 and I haven't seen
anything that concerns me yet:
    https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/NEWS
Qi,
Please take a closer look at the NEWS file,
review Khem's uprev and build and boot qemuarm64, qemuppc
when you have time. Send partial feedback today even if you
just review the commit and NEWS file.

Qi may not be able to do that in the next couple of day
due to SDK work.

Khem,
What testing have you done so far?
Any ptest?
What toolchain version are you building with, btw?


It's late in M3 and we still have the kernel and toolchain coming in
but unless we hear of known problems with v224, let's go for it
once the new toolchain and kernel have settled.
