As I said; they are tried-and-true since *decades*, all the problems
have been ironed out by slow small changes, so if somebody has
problems they are probably hitting very few people.

Switching to systemd is not a small change, it's a revolutionary
change, with the potential to break many people's boot (it has broken
things in Fedora, and openSUSE, and it's happening in Arch Linux as
well). So, a sensible person would wait until a sensible time to make
the big switch (which is clearly not now).
