This would mean forcing systemd on users whether they want it or not, 
whether it gives them something or not, even whether it works for them 
or not. Please don't do it. Please show first that systemd can work 
reliably and that it can give the users (admins) something that the old 
solution didn't. This is the way to persuade people that the new 
solution is better than the old one, not forcing it on them and not 
giving them a choice.

My proposition is: don't even start to talk about taking normal init 
away until there is at least one distribution release where systemd 
works at least as well as init does (and 12.1 definitely isn't one).
