Who are these folks who insist on jumping into discussions and insisting that people shouldn't be having it, or otherwise generating lots of irrelevant noise - because they disagree or are not interested in, or whatever?

Let's attempt an analogy: if several members of a literature club

Your analogy does not hold water since the on-going discussion is central to 
the use of Debian: i.e. whether or not many users will be able to continue 
using it.
Indeed. It's certainly of assistance to me as a Debian user to know what
the potential issues are with systemd as packaged/provided by Debian,
and what my alternatives are (whether adjusted systemd configuration, or
alternative init system) and how they might be achieved within a Debian
context. Details of how to do it outside Debian are off-topic.

Talk of forking does seem a bit premature though. Even post-jessie I'd
hope that it often suffices to just build some alternative binary .debs
from the Debian source packages but compiled with different options, so
they may depend on less; I'm sure somebody could offer hosting for such
a supplementary repository. I'd also hope that how to use Debian's
source packages and toolchain to create differently compiled packages to
be installed into a Debian system is pretty much on-topic too though!
