I didn't ask for systemd, yet unless I want to be on an unsupported version of opensuse in a very few months, I suddenly have to take on the burden of updating or working around or reinventing the install and init scripts for all of those, some of which are no longer supported at all by the manufacturers even in the cases where the manufacturer still exists.
Why would you have to do that? systemd supports the old init.d scripts as a stated feature. I know if it didn't on my system several things that do work perfectly with systemd would not. The dyndns client ddclient is an example off the top of my head.
