Systemd is seemingly deliberately designed to be difficult to replace. And it causes problems on some Debian platforms right now - as someone who was about to install Debian/kFreeBSD on a server, I am now very worried about the project's future.

Yep. right around the announcement of the GR there was a bug reported where installing one package would result in pam-systemd getting pulled in, and then it would cascade until sysv was replaced by systemd. I do wonder how many such bugbears there will be before there is a collective "fuck this" and just a blanket mandate of requiring systemd components everywhere...

It's not a problem to have systemd installed; on Debian it doesn't actually run as init unless you install the systemd-sysv package.
