As a random long-time user, I recently bought a new pre-built laptop
with debian and got the systemd fun for the first time. Decided no
more debian for me in the future. I'm pleased to hear that there are
derivative distros that resist systemd and encourage debian to *allow*
them, assuming people are willing to do the work. *Not* allowing this is
the politics-driven position.
