The antiX Linux project announced version 17 of its distribution:
The developers of the Debian-based antiX GNU/Linux distribution announced the release of antiX 17, dubbed "Heather Heyer" and based on the Debian GNU/Linux 9.2 "Stretch" operating system.
antiX 17 follows the trend of previous versions to offer users an operating system that does not include the widely used systemd init system. With this release, Gentoo's eudev device file manager for the Linux kernel is used by default instead of udev.
Eudev is a fork of udev, made by the Gentoo project to avoid dependency on systemd.

Thing is that systemd keeps growing and taking over various non-init related tasks.
Bloody thing has its own inetd in there now, never mind things like logging. And the less is said about the whole consolekit/logind/polkit mess the better, it was a bad idea from the start but now it has become mandatory.
