The fire will rain when there's a security hole in systemd or it's
alternatives. Just do your best to try to make the fresh installed system
be the one that doesn't have the next remotely exploitable bug in bash.
Someone will find a hole in something, and there will be fire when sysadmins
have to upgrade in the middle of the night and now are running systemd
instead of what they are used to. There's no particularly good way around
this.
