Live by the systemd sword, die by the systemd sword. See this message,
and continue down by thread:

Crunchbang claimed to be all about clean and simple, but when Debian
went systemd, Crunchbang followed eagerly. Thereby alienating their user
base.

I'm sure it did. Nobody who appreciates clean and simple could *like*
systemd, so the maintainer probably figured a Debian descendent that
kept taking its packages from Debian had no chance to ever get rid of
systemd. And of course, the transition to systemd alienated a big part
of Crunchbang's users. Heck, I never even tried it, because it was
systemd.
