In order to 'reunite the community' you need to understand what that will take. Every init system that is supported adds an additional support burden onto the developers and maintainers that work on Debian. In order to minimise that work, it's important to understand the issues with the status quo.
At one end of the spectrum, perhaps a few tweaks to systemd would be enough to satisfy most who had issues with it in the past. On the opposite end of the spectrum you have the distro needing to support 5+ init systems if there's little consensus about what a strong alternative to systemd would look like.
The questions I asked previously are useful in understanding how much work would be required to 'reunite the community'. Feel free to answer them if you think this is a worthwhile line of inquiry.
Not really.
