 When Debian Unstable adopted it, I didn’t even notice the transition.
That’s how stable it was.
 What kind of instability did you run into?

   You're right - almost NO "instability", even
   early on.
   They DO keep EXPANDING systemd though ... evil
   MIGHT infiltrate.
   If you're paranoid then DON'T USE IT. There are
   several kinds of servers where you maybe should
   not use it.
   The TRICK is for distos to make it EASY to use,
   or NOT use, systemd. "MX" has explicit boot
   options - use or don't. Grub Customizer lets
   you pick which option starts preferably. This
   is good, the RIGHT way - no fascism.
