I'd rather have OpenRC (edit: and I wouldn't mind upstart, either... it's pretty slick).

You're creating a false dichotomy. Just because SysV-style initscripts are a mess doesn't mean systemd is the only viable option.

And you're creating a strawman. rodgerd didn't say that the only two options were SysVinit and systemd, but that the loudest critics of systemd wanted to keep SysVinit. Whether that's true or not is another point (and not objectively decidable since "loudest" is pretty subjective), but it's obviously not the false dichotomy you're accusing him of.

Precisely. Thanks you.

The field seems littered with straw men right now...
