If we do decide that a default switch is unsafe for too many systems, then
I wouldn't have a problem with, for instance, adding a debconf question to
systemd-sysv's preinst which tells people what to do if they don't want
systemd for whatever reason.

If technically feasible, that would be a far better safety net (just tell
people to boot with init=/sbin/sysvinit if they run into a problem) than
an "oh dear, it's so dangerous that we don't even install it by default"
message. :-/
