That appears to be the reality hitting me too at the moment, busy
contemplating that very thing...
It is also quite obvious that the larger Debian community are mostly
against this switch to systemd, so I am hoping that the community
pulls together to at least make this just another option, but
definitely not the default.
If that were to happen I too would support this fork, although I may
already be too happy running Gentoo/Slackware/*BSD/Something else.
Come on Debian, you should know better!
