I don't give a rat's a$$ about servers and system administration.
I only care about the productivity that I can achieve on my personal
desktop workstation and I do not require 10,000 lines of code and 27
active processes to tell me that I have a SATA disk drive attached.

You want systemd and that's fine.  But I, and many others, do not want
it and do not need your supportive arguments.  That's why a fork is
the most sensible solution.  Then there will be no conflict between
sysadmins and those interested in personal productivity.
