I am not so worried about "systemd" on FreeBSD because I am quite sure the developers will do a great job (and they are looking at xml / plist files rather than binary shite)
But... there are so many things FreeBSD should probably be working on before even thinking about replacing /etc/rc. Correct suspend / resume for one. The /etc/rc replacement seems to be for workstations and laptops to speed up boot times whereas a suspend / resume could pretty much remove that need anyway.

BSD
The *BSDs might not have much of a choice but to implement something similar to systemd inorder to remain compatible with any upstream FOSS, such as future Gnome releases that begins to depend on it to function. Systemd isn't bad and Archlinux has a very stable implementation of it. The outcry from it has been mostly because of its undefined scope, far beyond the service initialization and management of an init system.
Anyway, the takeaway I get from this webcast is that FreeBSD wants to focus less on x86 PCs and more on mobile devices like tablets, smartphones, and embedded devices. I would have hoped that they were planning to improve FreeBSD on the PC desktop but that doesn't appear to be in their long-term agenda because it appears that most FreeBSD developers would rather use Macs and OS X as their desktop of choice.
