The kernel is replaceable. Don't forget about kfreebsd (ok, hurd's state is
a bad joke). Of course, the pro-systemd party has managed to get kfreebsd
out of the official release status, but the code is there and you can use
it. For a less drastic change, there are convenient tools to replace the
distributed kernel with your own builds, with whatever patches you want.
And making changes to the kernel is not rocket surgery. On the other hand,
try changing systemd...
