I've recently spent time solving frustrating problems, some involving
systemd, but I am left feeling quite optimistic about the future of the

Slackware, my distro of choice, doesn't include or support it, and I
think is unlikely to any time soon. Patrick Voelkerding, the Slack team
lead, has expressed some fairly negative opinions of it; basically that it
increases complexity and opacity and reduces flexibility without providing
anything worthwhile to justify that. Sure, systemd boxen boot a little
faster, but who goes around rebooting their Linux boxen often enough to make
that matter? (The Slack machine I'm sending this email from was last
rebooted more than three years ago. That was when I installed the UPS.)
Tangentially, Slackware still doesn't use SysV-style init scripts,
though a few versions back it integrated support for them.
