    Not specifically about systemd, but some things can’t be backwards compatible because they might want to just do things different.

    Nobody was forced to change, the distros saw the options and decided in favor of systemd, the same they decide a million other things.

        I’d encourage you to go read the discussions Arch Linux and Debian before deciding to go with systemd
