+1 for that
Regardless of what people think of him, it's not a grown up or pleasant thing

I don't find it strange at all. I haven't been following things all that 
closely, but it looks very much to me as though the vandals have been rapidly 
inserting dependencies into so much software that it gets harder and harder to 
keep them out. So if your choice is between spending a lot of resource that 
your don't have ripping out all the crapware, or "adopting" systemd then it's 
fairly clear what the choice is going to be.

Where the analogy falls down is if the ex girlfriend lives in the flat next 
door, works in the same office, and is actively dating all your friends, and 
goes to the same pubs/restaurants as you do ... so it takes a lot of effort to 
avoid her.
So you've decided to put her behind you, but you just can't stop her intruding 
into your life.
