I think that's why this current issue is more relevant than ever. Red Hat is burning goodwill they had, which is going to eventually start to cut into the types of decisions they used to be able to make when they had more community "power". I've always enjoyed using Debian (or Debian-based) systems than Red Hat (or Red Hat-based) systems, and was unhappy when I had to re-learn init scripts, but at this point in time Systemd just seems to be easier with some features being "free" to restart or figure out systems that don't restart automatically.
