This doesn't make any sense. The default is what it is, a single
option from a set of options that is the default one. There can only
be one default. Not all sets of options can be selected on setup
otherwise installing Debian would take longer than compiling gentoo.
Systemd is apparently just the default option. And my problem is,
people like you seem to believe that debian is some sort of
organization that decides for the shake of their users. Wrong. Debian
is a community first, if users want something, they can add it. There
are alternative inits available but apparently nobody cares enough to
maintain and script them. Which begs the question, why are systemd
haters so vocal but do nothing about it ? It seems like those who
actually did the work scripting for inits chose to work for systemd
only, and now it's just a bunch of people who demand stuff without
offering anything in return( i.e. work).
