Ubuntu 14.04 uses Upstart as the init system, the plan to switch to systemd is planned for 14.10+. There are parts of "systemd" that have been used in Ubuntu for a long time, but for most intents and purposes when people say "systemd" they mean systemd-as-init.

Well you'll have to ask the OP @luckyguy what he means by systemd.
This is what happened in Ubuntu 15.04:
Boot and service management
systemd has replaced Upstart as the standard boot and service manager on all Ubuntu flavors except Touch. At the time of the 15.04 release there are no known major problems which prevent booting. The only service which does not currently start is Juju, which will be fixed in a post-release update soon; all other packaged Ubuntu services are expected to work.
Upstart continues to control user sessions.
14.10 has been and gone, the current release for Ubuntu is 16.04:
The systemd Init System
Users of Ubuntu 15.10 or Debian Jessie may already be familiar with systemd, which is now the default init system for the majority of mainstream GNU/Linux distributions. On Ubuntu, systemd supplants Canonical's Upstart.
I don't pretend to be an expert on this subject, and I haven't used Ubuntu since 12.04 or something. But having systemd is something that still has to be fixed IMHO.
