In reply to the question originally posed in the thread's title, yes and the other BSDs too. I had sampled the BSD world some time back. While I generally liked what I found, it was different enough that I went back to Linux in order to avoid some of the pain (read work) necessary to make a full transition. That and the fact that I found a Linux distro that did not have systemD and planned to stay that way. All was fine until the hammer dropped.
A few weeks ago, one of the IT journals (sorry, I don't remember which one) published an analysis of how systemD was affecting Linux in general and what we could expect in the future. The author postulated that systemD was mutating and grabbing functionality at such a rate that the hold out distros only had about one year left before they would be forced to capitulate completely or lose major features because of more forced dependencies on systemD.
A few days ago, the hammer fell the rest of the way. Poettering announced that systemD was now taking over all network functions. That was it. Linux is dead to me now. I wish the hold outs well. I hope they can win in the end, but have little faith that they will. I'm in BSD land to stay.
