That presumes that your conservative attitude is the majority opinion
though. Systemd is one of the features that I have been looking forward
to in CentOS 7 because of the new capabilities it provides so while this
will surely drive some people away it will actually attract others and
if you think that this will lead to some sort of great exodus then I
think you are mistaken. Not everybody is this uncomfortable with change.
