Can someone summarize why one would particularly want a distro which lacks sysyemd? I failed to find thier reasoning in the About / FAQ and don't know enough to understand the rationale on my own. Not to bait a response, but is this just another example of how when a fundamental and broad change is introduced into any sufficiently large software community, some small subset of the community inevitably takes issue and proceeds to fork and maintain a release where they can continue doing things "the old way"?
