Although we are late in reporting the fact, within days of announcing the demise of Bodhi Linux it is announced that the distro will continue on as the torch has been passed on to other volunteers. Distrowatch has again added it to their Distro Ranking List and lists Bodhi's page as being in "active" development.
As the handing-over maintainer, Jeff, says:
Bodhi 3 will happen at some point, but they don't have any firm time lines right now. Thankfully - all the delays mean E19 "stable" has been released and will be the default desktop for the x86/64bit releases. I'll let the new folks post updates once they get all my build scripts sorted and start getting pre-releases out to test.

Never heard of it but If Bodhi isn't going to use systemd I'll have to check it out.

Since it's based on Ubuntu, I bet it's probably going to be using Systemd soon if it isn't already...

You'll want to stick with the current version and watch updates carefully, then. Unless things change under the new leadership, it is based on Ubuntu LTS and offers a "semi-rolling" release schedule. systemd might just end up getting rolled out to it in the near future. It certainly will in the next Ubuntu LTS release (again, assuming Bodhi stays with Ubuntu).
I really hope they do find a different base distro, and hopefully one without systemd. If not, it will remain on my "testing in a VM only" list of distros.
