I think I have to stop as this topic has been discussed by a lot of
people over the last few years. But one thing to note though that smart
people who develop good software do not usually cause controversial
disagreements, because they also offer the possibilities for the people
who do not like the software, to be able to completely uninstall the
software and any of its components. I had to downgrade back to Debian
wheezy as I could not uninstall systemd to be able to use pure sysvinit.
Yes, I want to use pure sysvinit instead of the quick and dirty
workaround that they provide in the form of shims and helpers.
