If you want to create a CentOS-7 variant that does not use systemd, then start a Special Interest Group and create modified packages to use something else instead ......., much like the this group did with Debian:
In the case of CentOS-7 .. you don't need to create a whole new distro, you can just petition the CentOS Project Board to create a Special Interest Group to get access to CentOS Project controlled resources to build packages (and get them rolled into our mirrors, etc.) to use something other than systemd.
Excellent idea. I'll gladly sign any such petition :-)
