Systemd users scare me when they are dismissive of other init systems and suggest people "just go with this it works."

When someone is able to create systems with init systems other than systemd, but don't care to and don't provide support for others because "well it works for me, just switch" - they are working against all of our futures.

When alternatives are cut out from under you - it means control is being taken from you and put in the hands of others.

Those who would remove alternatives are never looking out for your interests.

Be sure whatever you produce is cross platform (even if you hate Windows like I do, you should be sure people who have no choice can still use your tools to escape tyranny) and doesn't lock anyone into one particular thing.

Support the BSD's. Support multiple init systems. Break systems that fight humanity.
