I disagree: This is not safe and can break systems.

I have a system where the network connection is so important that the
pppd is invoked via the inittab, which is a published interface of the
init system and has been for decades. When an upgrade installs
systemd, this machine will simply drop off the network.

Other systems I have have serial consoles only, also configured via
inittab. Installing systemd there will lock me out.

I gladly support systemd as default for new installations, but I think
upgrades should remain safe to install as far as possible.
