From debian and hurd to slackware which will not touch systemd ever and ubuntu and also embedded with the kernel working on more and more deeply embedded processors and userland working potentially on less or more difficulties in porting if lennart's dreams ever come to pass, which I hope many won't. So way more than half of linux will not use systemd by default likely ever and it is rather different. Any unification it does bring like /etc/hostname could be easily achieved with a little organisation without systemd and would be way more constructive if it happened because of that single purpose. I didn't even mention POSIX compliance which is a requirement on many projects. Fudging POSIX into Linux only would defeat the whole point of POSIX, though apparently that is a real danger.
