I don't think all distros switch for systemd in nearer future. Correct me if I'm wrong but they seems to be perfectly suited and superior for desktop enviroment but lack the fine-tuning servers admin requires (I heard complains that in some situations Gentoo scripts, which are dependencies, are wrong as they do not control the implied correspondence between some servers in some setup). In such way (i.e. AdminKit): - We/you[1] allow to replace systemd if it will be out-of-date (say in 30 years ;) ) - We/you allow to support older systems which may not require such setups when systemd makes no sense/is harder to set up for any reason - We/you allow to support (k)*BSD/distro which not switched for any reason to systemd Regards [1] We == community, you == maintainers
