It is the future.

The debian issue will be to deal with all the things systemd is bringing and SysV is not supporting.

Is debian going to drop SysV?

My custom distribution already deals with the v258 cutoff.
It is a rolling release type and does have major releases.

What happens when /etc/hosts goes away?
As you see from my earlier post I have already dealt with that and for that matter /etc/fstab also.

[alarm@alarm ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
# Static table lookup for hostnames.
# See hosts(5) for details.

[alarm@alarm ~]$ cat /etc/fstab
# Static information about the filesystems.
# See fstab(5) for details.

# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

Some distributions have dealt with the changes also.
