Users who want systemd can choose it during install. But it's too big a change to be the default choice. I don't want to change, until it's been proven and polished for several years.
I'm also opposed to dumping everything into /usr. I *like* having /bin vs. /usr/bin, /lib vs. /usr/lib, and /sbin vs. /usr/sbin.
If you need shared read only mounts for executables, then improve mount and/or the kernel so you can easily mount multiple paths all at once, to the same device. Don't force your organizational prejudices on me.
I'm a user, and I want what I want.
Question is, do you want users, or not?
Nicely said but you can't issue dictats here, you certainly can try and fail as the distro will move forward whether it meets your specific and individual needs or not. May be you'll find them met elsewhere or else, feel free to start a distribution all of your own. Joe's own Linux doesn't sound too bad. With all the OS's I touched in over 40 years and with 20 odd years of Linux, I've always had to work within the parameters of what I've been given or sold. You can make reasonable suggestions for consideration but mindless rants will never get you anywhere. If openSUSE gives you systemd, you'll have to take systemd and like it or find something else that at this time doesn't include it until you run out of options and throw away your box or boxes or alternatively install Windows.
