  1. That's the crux of the issue, SystemD gets so integrated into the system that you can't just pull it out as a component - there's too many dependencies in other software. What you have to do is rebuild the whole system from the ground.

  2.  @IainNitro  I think SystemD brough more fracturing to the Linux community, as if there ever was more needed for that. Since many main distros adopted SysD they pretty much dropped support for alternative init systems. Which in turn spawned separate distros with a sole pupose of having alternative init systems. That's not a good sign that in order to have a different init system you pretty much have to maintain a separate distro. Ideally you should be able to easily switch init systems without having dependencies on concrete implementation. It's a classic systems engineering problem. Solution: we need more abstraction - a standard interface for init systems that all modern init systems should adhere to.
