Do a fork of Debian and that fork remains with Sys V? There will be a split in Debian community for this decision for sure. The split goes through Linux community in total. I for myself will switch to DragonFly BSD if possible. The problem is, that Linux today has the drivers. And because the political program of the systemd guys to conquer the whole Linux world is successful, everyone will be dependent on their APIs there in near future. That makes some hope for the BSD world again. The good thing about Free Software is the alternatives.
