Some of RedHat's paying customers might be able to explain the value of not breaking a running system better.

Systemd haters simply latched on to a minor detail and now it's becoming an icon of anti-systemd crusades.

RHEL breaks stuff between major versions as if there was no tomorrow.
The good people at Red Hat do try to keep stuff stable within the same major version of RHEL,
which is good for more than a decade (i.e., longer than most servers last),
so upgrades from one major version to the next are rarely required.
Consequently, unlike Debian, Red Hat makes no attempt to even support
upgrading between major versions of RHEL.
Debian, on the other hand, makes no attempt to be RHEL. If you want that
sort of stability, be a Red Hat customer; it's their business, and they're
really pretty good at it.

Red Hat makes no attempt to even support upgrading between major versions of RHEL.
That's no longer true. There is a supported upgrade path from RHEL 6 Server to RHEL 7 Server (only on x86_64 so far). See KBase articles:
