Certainly not the _whole_ community.

I still take systemd in 12.1 as an experiment. An experiment that showed 
that if there ever will be time to replace normal init with systemd, it 
is definitely not now.

I don't. So far, I haven't seen any (useful) feature that systemd would 
provide that couldn't be with much less effort achived without it. On 
the other hand, it brings a lot of problems and complicates things that 
used to be simple and easy. Some features aren't provided at all and 
when people point it out, the answer is "you shouldn't want them because 
systemd doesn't provide them". Saving (possibly) few seconds of boot 
time is not worth the trouble.
