It's great that they have released and it's important there are options so users are not locked-in to a single init.
We need to do more to ensure projects do not create lock-ins especially gratuitous ones from single companies that make it difficult for people to use for instance Gnome without systemd.
This kind of lock-in can only lead to bad outcomes and make developing future alternatives and improvements more difficult.
Also its time Systemd defines a scope and decouple and brand any additional functionality beyond an init differently so it makes it easier to inter-operate and pick and choose both for users or distributions. Or you have distributions like Debian for instance voting for an init system but getting all the externalities that were not voted for ending up becoming defacto choices.
