Go ahead and fork. Just leave me alone while I enjoy using systemd.
I think some people are taking this way too personal and overreact.
Forking is probably the best way to stop all the whining.
A fork would also mean that Debian (systemd edition) would not have to keep legacy init script support. You could have a 'clean' systemd in around Jessie+1 I imagine.
Debian already supports non-Linux kernels on which systemd won't function. So the legacy init support (or a compatible alternative) will still be required.
