First of all, supporting multiple init systems is not something a

It would involve forcing package maintainers to support them when getting
enough package maintainers is a problem already.
The alternative is to create a respin with another init system and its own
builds of any software using systemd. A big task.
And besides... Systemd is quite awesome. Especially for servers. play with
cgroups, btrfs and selinux directly in the service file and you can have
services running in your very own containers.
Hmm, I guess You want advice me, to bought some strictly limited (maybe
commercial) OS - and then shut up and be satisfied with I have. But this
fortunately is not Linux case...
Regarding cgroups/btrfs/selinux - they may be used independently of
systemd. And although I think SELinux is good thing and I use it
(regardless of systemd), things as cgroups and btrfs I never needed
(regardless of systemd). And I not want to 'play' with, I want to
foolproof system - and in my experience, systemd does not fall with
(after 4+ years of 'playing').
