Yes, most of them do, and that is why I complain about it. I want to have the choice. I don’t mind if other people use systemd; I just don’t want it forced one me.
I don’t mind systemd so I haven’t tried to rip it out, but I can’t imagine trying to replace it with a legacy init system is going to be smooth sailing.
