I agree that there were a number of breakdowns in the way the transition and the decision process was handled. However those things cannot be reverted. What we can do is learn from what has happened and do better in the future.

Debian discussed this with its community and based on the feedback it took a decision. As indicated I can't remember to have seen any discussion or questionnaire within the openSUSE community regarding the successor of the sysvinit environment. Of course we can sweep it under the umbrello of "those that do the work decide". But then those have also be prepared for the subsequent discussions that their decision could cause.
I have no problem with the subsequent discussion, but at some point it has to end. The discussion about systemd has now been going on for more than 3 years.
I don't see why... :-) If people are not happy about a decission, they will probably comment/complain/bitch (maybe for ever) and not just silently accept the decission. Maybe the majority does, but not all.
But it is indeed too late to revert back as that we are already depend too much on systemd and it would create a lot of havoc if we would remove it now. However I don't think that this should close the door for alternatives.
Well, we have the best tool in the world to work on alternatives and/or derivative distributions, OBS. I have not seen anyone step up and do the work necessary. However, I do have to admit that I am certainly not aware of every project in OBS.
