I intend to.

I believe you.  I wasn't running in a mode where that would be a problem.

Yeah, I believe that.  It sounds like a good idea not just on
performance but o complexity-reduction grounds - frankly I don't trust
any monster monolith like systemd as far as I can throw it. If I
"apt-get install sysvinit", will that back out systemd cleanly?
