"The world doesn't run on systemd, and it isn't a "just works" thing in the slightest."
Redhat are betting their particular farm on systemd in RHEL7, and Debian (hence recent Ubuntu releases building to the 16.04 LTS) has adopted the suite.
Is the point you are making above based on the percentage of servers running earlier supported Linux implementations or on the existence of alternatives such as the BSDs?

I think Ubuntu adopting systemd has less to do with Debian doing so and more to do with Gnome becoming increasingly difficult to package without systemd.
- tw04 11y agoBetting the farm? That seems a bit dramatic. I'm quite confident that Redhat could remove systemd just as easily as they added it if they had reason to.
