I skimmed bits of the messages linked by above. He seems to be saying systemd is the fact on the ground, and so debian must go with it - it makes debian packagers' task manageable. A short-sighted view, in my opinion.
Then he found the tone of systemd opponents' messages offensive, and faults the debian constitution for it. He found the kitchen too hot, and so he's getting out.
I don't know how much weight he pulls in debian project, though.

I skimmed them too, and saw something about Gnome requiring systemd. And since that's such a major desktop manager (Is it? Still?) Debian has no choice but to go with the flow.
It'd be a huge shame if something like Gnome, who apparently lost their minds years ago when they came out with 3, managed to splinter Debian on their way down.

Gnome will be directly integrating with systemD in the next few releases. It plans on using it's handling of cgroups to provide sandboxing for all running applications.

The way things are going, the Linux kernel will be directly integrated with systemd a few releases after that.
