Big difference between the preceding two. As far as I know, Gentoo has
shown no reluctance to *eventually* switching to systemd. By its very
existence, Manjaro-OpenRC has. Here are the distros I've heard of that
have taken an absolute stand not to *ever* default to systemd:

* Devuan
* Funtoo
* Void Linux
* And by context, Manjaro-OpenRC

Even FreeBSD has had some systemd contemplation. Slackware has been
wishy-washy on the subject, from what I hear.

When considering one's next distro, some thought must be given to the
fact that just because a distro doesn't *currently* use systemd doesn't
mean that they won't switch.
