Avoiding systemd
> Name a major distro that's not using systemd?
Kubuntu, at the moment, at least. I haven't got it here on 14.04, which is using upstart [ubuntu.com]. This forum post from January 2014 says "... the Ubuntu Technical Board has said that they won't turn away from Upstart without a compelling reason". So even if Debian puts systemd into its distro, Canonical envisages replace it with Upstart when syncing Ubuntu with Debian, in the same way as they replace SysVinit now.
PS There are systemd builds for [K]Ubuntu, if you want them. Seems that there are a number of folk here that don't.
