Fair point. I'll admit to having stuck with RedHat from v6.1 to the
present, apart from a very short dabble with SUSE, mainly because I much
prefer yum, later replaced by dnf, to other package managers.

However, IIRC when systemd rocked up I have a feeling of the big three:
Debian, RH and SUSE related distros, RH and clones were dominant and it
was this, rather than anything else, that has driven systemd uptake.
