There is no plan B .. use it or use something else.  Its not like
Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE have decided to not use systemd.

EL6 is good for 4 more years, it does not have systemd.

BSD doesn't use systemd.

systemd is even more important with containers.

That's just how it is.  If people don't like what Linux does to the
