Not making rash decisions.
Debian and CentOS are still the 'asked for' distributions of Linux. Once
in a blue moon, someone asks about something else.
Those that care are outnumbered greatly by those that just want a known
platform to develop upon. (The irony of this is not lost on me).
I'd take systemd over ditching apt/yum in a mad panic. And I'm certainly
no fan of systemd myself.
