Indeed. Once [systemd related] code was aded to kernel, it was it. Kernel is polluted, and cleaning that away from kernel only adds extra bugs and problems. Even maintaining the branch of kernel stemming from pre-systemd is not as good as were it no systemd in the world at all.

But that is just extra argument to move away from Linux (at least systems that can be moved away).
