Systemd is not for sysadmins only.

I don't know if you have some actual data to substantiate the claim that systemd has made Linux less stable than it was before. Systemd is in "under development" all the time but that's not a problem by itself, the Linux kernel is under development all the time too. Systemd no goal to ever be "finished", its goal is to evolve perpetually based on new requirements and systems, just like the kernel does.
I agree that there is a concern about too many new features making it into actual production releases, which is what I tried to refer to in my previous posts. I suggested amending the systemd development model, not going back to sysvinint or to any of the "alternatives" like openrc, runit etc..., which in fact are not alternatives at all because they don't even attempt to solve the problems that systemd wants to address.
