I consider Slackware to be mainstream, and it most certainly doesn't come with systemd. And is likely to be systemd-free for the foreseeable future. (This is different than Steven's point about distos that are officially supported by TDE. There are "automatic" build scripts available for Slackware which meet my needs, although IIRC someone recently pointed out that they were missing some things.)
