Actually, one of the goals of systemd is to standardize all Linux distros on a single set of tools. Which means that, yes, alternatives will go insupported. But in order for Linux to transition from just a kernel to a platform, you must have ONE userland stack and ONE set of APIs to cide to... for everything from system calls to UI layers and system management. This is an advantage that Windows had, and systemd finally brings it to Linux
