I do not agree that reconfiguring your machine to avoid an initrd is a normal
standard desktop configuration. There's also several other things about your
setup which I would argue are not standard (see below)

Despite the fact we're in freeze and the focus of attention for maintainers
is to fix RC bugs and get wheezy out the door, ⅓ of the bugs you've submitted
have been fixed. That sounds pretty good to me!
It's also unfair to necessarily suggest that the three bugs you've filed are
bugs in systemd itself. They could be bugs in the packaging of systemd, bugs
in service files supplied by other packages, or bugs in other daemons that
are exposed by running systemd. I suppose they could also not be bugs at all.
That's certainly the maintainer's opinion for one of the ones you submitted.
You also say in another bug yourself "I know the bug is in wicd". I think
you are being pretty disingengous about systemd and your experiences.
(I've only briefly scanned over the three you have submitted: #694048¹,
#661239² and #693522).

In Debian, that's essentially the situation right now. Nobody is arguing to
make systemd the default init today.
¹ Indicates you don't have libpam-systemd installed, which means you have set
apt install recommends to "false": another deviation from "standard desktop
configuration". Also the last maintainer mail on the bug says "This looks
like a bug in the fetchmail init script".
² wicd? Another deviation from "standard desktop configuration"
