We have a thread about this on Linuxquestions Slackware
subforum. Personally, I'd kick it to the curb but apparently alot of
Slackware users like using it for the desktop. I'd put the link but it
seems the site is under a spam attack the last couple of days and I
can't get on right now.

systemd is really a fork of gnu/linux, and should be rightfully called
"systemd/linux" because it's vastly different from gnu/linux. I'm all
about choice but at some point there *is* no choice. Good luck using
Linux without PAM, udev, or dbus on a modern system. systemd will be
like that soon. At least those things kept to one area of the system and
didn't try to re-write the entire user and administrator interface while
claiming to be an "init system". 

I already have Omni and Openindiana systems. If I have to, I'll use the
last gnu/linux before systemd takes it and use that for hardware that
illumos won't run but keep everything else off Linux. The hardware
support isn't as good as BSD, and of course nowhere near Linux, but
that's what I'll have to work with because I absolutely will not be
kissing the systemd ring. Going back to Windows ain't going to happen
and I hate Apple (it's over-priced on top of everything else).
