The coming and passing of systemd will in hindsight be seen as a storm in a teacup, I suspect. (Not comparable with the couple of hours after noon on Sunday, here in the Dandenongs. From my windows I saw three 1m diameter Redgum treetops/branches snap and plunge up to 30m, crashing resoundingly in the gully immediately opposite. The neighbour's house and carport were hit by another three trees, and two others within 200m were partially demolished by trees up to 1.2m in diameter. In all, over 20 trees down along and adjacent to the street. Just as we had half the street cleared with our chainsaws before there was any sight of SES crews, I expect that the Linux community is not wholly dependent on DDs for the preferred init solution(s). Heck, even electricity can be done without for a while, cooking pasta on the wood heater by the light of a row of candles.)
I was out on the road in an open area trying to hold a stop go baton (edge on to the wind) and finding the gusts almost pushing me over despite using the handle as a third leg. Worst I've ever seen in 40 years of Hills living.
