Debian, Fedora and Parabola are, to be quite honest, very ethically made distributions. Sure Fedo has *cough*kernelblobs*cough* but that can be fixed very easy by swapping the standard kernel with linux-libre (You should totally do this btw) This is a change I would totally back.
Systemd, cancer as it may be developed, is still free software. So as long as I have the freedom to get rid of it, change it, or even keep it, then it isn't worth purging. But please Luke, don't decide for me, I got enough of that from Microsoft with Winblows 8. (You need some tiles in your life son!) 
One of the absolute biggest appeals of your cards is that they actually can run mainline everything. Please recognize this is a huge huge deal especially on a distros like Debian that actually has official ARM builds.   Don't mess with it. Stock xfce Debian please.
