I still don't use systemd and this year I stopped using openrc too. Now I'm using only sysvinit. It was very very educational and I even reported bugs in sysvinit, some of them were there for over 20 years.

The people you are attracting to Linux are not the kind of people that will improve it in any way. As Linux is free (well, most distros), you won't even see any extra money. Only idiotic bug reports will increse. "Interent isn't working!!!111 FIX IT NOWWW!!!111"

You're not even attracting competent sysadmins. You'll have more security breaches, more automated hacking (because without manually-written scripts, all systems behave predictably the same), more costly fixes (because consultants that still know the job are expensive).

Mobile users that feel offended users may vote me down, I don't mind, but you know the type of users I was referring to.
