I assume you are referring to
That point you bring up is semi-orthogonal to the upgrade decision,
but it also brings up two important points that have to be considered:
The second line was not intended to imply that you said that, just very
poorly worded by me.
The second line might have been better worded like

The problematic parts are where Debian differs from other distributions.
E.g. Debian has been the only big Linux distribution that did support
non-Linux kernels. If Debian wants to be closely aligned to the
consensus among other distributions it might have to drop non-Linux
kernels, and switching to systemd basically enforces that.

See above regarding my poor wording.
