Well, sorta yes and sorta no Jonathan.  Yes, in that I've moved my personal systems to Linux distros that don't use systemd.

No in the it's not "FUD"... The complaints about the code and development are facts.  Not alternative facts, real, verifiable incidents and outages.

Professionally, I end up having to deal with these incidents that suck my time and effort and irritate my customers.

Just move on, ISN'T a solution.

I deal in solutions.  Partially, where possible, I move my customers to system that don't have this viral infection just as I moved them off of windows, where possible.

systemd isn't "the death of linux".  It is a serious quagmire that needs to be resolved.  That can only happen by confronting the issue head on.  step one is admitting a problem 
exists.
