It's not so much a controversy as a whole lot of armchair 
quarterbacking; meanwhile the folks doing the actual work have long 
since moved on.  :)

Anyway. Faster boot times is a pretty minor benefit to systemd compared 
to many of the other under-the-hood design principles, though it's 
probably the most visible one to laypersons.  (It's actually a 
beneficial side-effect rather than something was designed in from the 
outset)

BTW, Ubuntu 14.04 uses upstart, not systemd or sysvinit, though IIRC in 
the 15.10 timeframe it's supposed to switch to systemd.
