For the moment yes.  But no guarantees as the landscape keeps changing.  
And I imagine as 'we' find ways around systemd, the Poettering cabal 
will find ways to make the workaround non-functional.  (Yup, tin foil 
time - zero trust.) I think fsmithred is tackling sid at the moment.  I 
installed the Jessie version of Refracta but haven't played with it 
much, tried to add apps or updated yet.  I'm not gonna get serious about 
exploring alternatives for a year or so . . .
