Bottom line is: if you need something that is immediately stable and
without systemd, then you'd better stay with an old Debian wheezy
(apparently not the 7.8, which already has got some systemd-nonsense
due to backports). I would not put anything mission-critical on a
distro that is still on pre-alpha, although it is in principle a
Debian without systemd... :)
