Not being in the main archive does _not_ mean we don't care about it.
It only means that non-linux are not on par with e.g. hardware support
or security support compared to the mainstream linux ports, so we can't
claim they have the same quality as the released archs, that's all.
A problem with sticking to systemd only is that it means sticking to
linux only, and not leaving any room for any alternative, since systemd
is not to be seen ported on any non-linux. I don't think we want to
care only about linux, for various reasons.
I'm not saying maintainers should spend time on maintaining init files
etc. but at least leave room for people who want to do it.
