>Distros has always had standards and this has never been an issue before.
While distros adopting standards has been polarizing in the past, I think this is the most debated issue in the past decade or two. There's been some quibbles over things, and of course there's the vi vs emacs holy wars, etc, but I can't think of a single time where something so integral to the distribution has been such a matter of controversy across the community.
>In cases like that you should not hate systemd, but on the guilty party introducing the bad dependency. This is clearly not systemd's fault.
Oh, I'm not blaming systemd for this (Though it's not surprising Gnome has done this - the Freedesktop.org group is fairly incestuous when it comes to this sort of thing), I'm just saying it's pretty easy to say "Don't use systemd if you don't like it then!", but increasingly more difficult to actually do it.
It's not like vi vs emacs or nginx vs apache where you can quite easily just use the one you want.
