[arch-general] systemd transition on virtual server - help needed

[G. Schlisio]

hi list,
i am running an arch server (x84_64) inside a virtual private server.
now that systemd smoothly comes to be standart, i would like to 
understand, how this affects my machine.
as this is a vps, i have no control over the running kernel, which is a 
2.6.36.4-vs2.3.0.36.39-netcup atm. (netcup is a german webhosting provider).
also i do not know much about the virtualisation machinery running there.
as this is a server used for productivity, i would like to understand 
whats happening to it, to keep maintenance downtime at a reasonable low 
level.
at what point will i (propably) get in trouble because of systemd, when 
(if ever) will i be unable to boot with this machine if i keep updating?
thanks for helping suggestions.
