You are free to switch back to sysvinit if you wish. To do so you need to
install sysvinit-core (and remove systemd-sysv, which will likely be removed
by the action of installing sysvinit-core). This will change your init system
to sysvinit, although it would not remove all of systemd, and some parts of
it are likely depended upon by other stuff on your system.
I just learned earlier today of systemd-nspawn as a possible containerization solution (my mind boggles....).
Do you know if removing systemd-sysv would undercut nspawn?
Have you tried nspawn for that containerization? Any strong views?
