A silver lining, is it would likely be attempted via systemd. This may finally be enough to kick off a fork, and get rid of all the silly parts of it.
To anyone thinking not possibile, we already switched inits to systemd. And being persnickety saw mariadb replace mysql everywhere, libreoffice replace open office, and so on.
All the recent pushiness by a certain zealotish Italian debian maintainer, only helps this case. Trying to degrade Debian into a clone of Redhat is uncooth.

This misunderstands why systemd succeeded. It included several design decisions aimed at easing distribution maintainers' burdens, thus making adoption attractive to the same people that would approve this adoption.
If a systemd fork differentiates on not having attestation and getting rid of an unspecified set of "all the silly parts", how would they entice distro maintainers to adopt it? Elaborating what is meant by "silly parts" would be needed to answer that question.
