With many projects where systemd couldn't even hope to be used. The
point is you are trying to make a point out of nothing.

Meaningless. How many companies support development of /sbin/init?

I don't wish to get dragged into what has been discussed far better
many times before yet again. I have faith that those that have spoken
against systemd have shown good reasoning and understanding and the
opposite camp largely misunderstands what already exists and the depth
of usage with a few minor plus points. I also realise security benefits
are often muted and risks misunderstood.
Init scripts are here to stay no matter what happens for many
reasons, the only question is what is the best default or init just
for Debian. Which is easiest to switch to. Which default may cause bugs
and/or lend itself to upstreams making worse and less pliable software.
