There's not a lot left in meta-systemd; it been chipped away as the relevant 
support has been added into the corresponding recipes.

Here is a quick script that shows the parts that may still need looking at:

  https://gist.github.com/bluelightning/fd4a54d64b5619e20d5f

It looks like Chen's patchset has just landed in OE-Core master; I haven't 
looked at the changes closely but it seems like a few of the remaining non-
trivial bbappends may now be able to be pared down to just the 
RDEPENDS/RRECOMMENDS/RREPLACES lines (e.g. keymaps, dhcp, at).

The sooner meta-systemd can be labelled as only interesting to those needing 
the RDEPENDS/RRECOMMENDS/RREPLACES for the old packaging, the better IMO, so I 
really appreciate this work, thanks!

Cheers,
Paul
