Let's hope Mr Torvalds has the balls to do what's right.

There's a UNIX ecosystem? The Linux ecosystem may become strictly
commercial and be used to hunt baby seals, but the BSD and Solaris
ecosystems are still systemd-free, are they not?

My hopes are still on gentoo (which made the sanest decision regarding
systemd), slackware (which may or may not resist it - it's all very
relative) and LFS, among a few other smaller distros.
