In my experience, when people who do not do the work start telling the
people who do do the work, what to do, many efforts disintigrate.

As a user, I simply choose which best distribution serves my purpose
and when it ceases to do so, I simply move on as I have in the past.
We(6 systems) moved from Debian to Devuan to escape the creeping
systemd infection. We also dumped acting as a torrent source for any
Debian or systemd distro and took up torrenting devuan.

I'm very sure that some systemd free distro will continue and there is
also BSD if we tire of rolling our own kernels as we did in the past.
