"Broken" .... many of us strongly believe that once the Debian project
went down the route of systemd, they intrinsically broke Debian and
trust with users; others seem to sincerely believe that systemd is all
good or mostly good.  So, "broken" can be subjective to say the least.

To me and others whom share my views, Debian is indeed broken like
many other "modern day" Linux distros; one answer is Devuan [1], which
I fully support.

On the whole, I have been very saddened by the path that this project
has taken and I'm hoping that one day it will "right" itself once
again, but I'm not holding my breath as I think the damage to date
(without considering what more badness is to come) has been too great,
there are egos that are too large, and the complexity created is
already far too significant, to reverse this terrible, terrible
decision to "fix" something in such a damaging way.
