Debian can certainly scale from Raspberry Pis to supercomputers.

The issue is more of support:

1. Debian itself doesn't offer support beyond security updates for its 
packages and this list.

You either do it yourself or you hire a third-party (see 
https://www.debian.org/consultants).

2. Hardware vendors don't certify their products with Debian (there is 
no incentive to do so). This matters if you want / must use specialized 
products like RAID controllers, e.g. the vendor may refuse replacing 
defective hardware unless you can prove it's not working on certified 
OSs. I've heard of organizations keeping another OS around just for this 
(similar tactic with Windows on desktops and laptops)

At least Lenovo has shown some interest in cooperating with Debian (see 
the link about the ARM server I posted, as well as this thread on 
-project.

I already posted some.

Better not re-open this discussion. I will just say that Debian has 
basically decided it will use systemd for now.

Kind regards,
