the problem with this proposal is that if your strip out all the
feelgood propaganda fluff misusing the word "freedom", what it's
actually saying is that package maintainers don't have to even attempt
to maintain compatibility with non-systemd init systems, and making
it acceptable to perform stealth or forced conversions to systemd by
dependency.
