Funtoo, knoppix and devuan are not serious professional grade distros, 
two of those are in beta and gentoo isn't something you want on most 
production servers.

You can't be seriously suggesting that hobbyist distros with one or two 
developers and bad security policies is a serious replacement for the 
systemd corrupted distros can you?


For some reason everyone in this thread also seems to be making this 
about sysvinit vs systemd rather than systemd vs sysvinit and openRC...
