Doesn't matter really, with all the complaints, ramblings of systemd.. system admins will be forced to move to systemd. An admin has no choice since the company they work for runs it's entire stack on GNU/Linux and will not switch to another OS because of an init system.

Remember, companies used to run their entire stacks on things like Solaris, or on IBM mainframes, until someone snuck a Linux box in there somewhere. Change does happen, even when policy exists.

That perspective is a case by case. From the perspective of a sysadmin who is powerless to make decisions and not taken seriously by his/her management, maybe you're right. From the perspective of a consultant or trusted sysadmin hired to streamline architecture, maybe not.
