Many distros are forking or contemplating forks:

So your all or nothing scenario is a bit more complex; and 
many users will migrate  to other distros, with systemd or not
being one of the key elements in their decision, imho.

I think many of us here at Gentoo have "Ansible Fever". It is my latest
solution to many of my current admin kludges.... I think if the more 
advanced members of our Gentoo community would donate a wee_bit of time
in the form of some Ansible recipes (cookbooks) it would go a very long
way to close the gap between the gentoo handbook and a happy (shiney?)
new Gentoo install; imho.


Lots of folks are using Anible with their clusters.
