My first thought was, "Go away, flock to BSD, we don't need you." I've noticed a large increase in the useless Linux user population recently, that is, users who whine and contribute nothing back to the Linux ecosystem, not even useful bug reports or suggestions ("I don't like X" is not a useful suggestion). Hopefully, systemd succeeds in driving them out; the ones who stay are those who are either okay with systemd or dislike it and are willing to do something about it because they understand that, for example, the Debian devs have no obligation to cater to their every whim.
So anti-systemd folks, if you are writing your own inits and services managers, great! Progress for one is progress for all. If not, stop posting, you're clogging up the Intertubes.

Sysadmins like myself never needed to write our own "inits and services managers". We made any desired changes to the init scripts right after the base OS install, then never had to mess with (or suffer a failed boot from) them again.
We have no need of "service managers", since the proper fix for a crashed process is to fix the problem that caused it to crash, rather than just stupidly re-starting it with the same crippling problem it had before.

SystemD will drive away people that contributes too. Which can be suspected to be a reason behind this Psyops called systemd because RedHat is deeply involved in the famous industrial complex.
