I have today installed Debian Sid with TDE R14 on a Dell Inspiron 6400. I am very pleased to find everything (except suspend) seems to work fine with no systemd stuff whatsoever!
I have at the moment an older version of dbus (1.5.8-1) .. later versions bring libsystemd-login0 .. and libpulse0 from stable, later versions bring libsystemd0. TDE needs dbus, kaffeine needs libpulse0. These libs may not be a problem anyway.
Shutdown works. Usb notification/mounts work, which do not in other DE's without (or even with) systemd.
Do TDE users want freedom (as much as is possible) from systemd?
Does the TDE team have any particular policy towards systemd dependency?

TDE user, Debian stable. I am going to use whatever Debian provides...that said I plan on using Wheezy as long as it is supported, hopefully LTS. I also have Debian Squeeze LTS boxes that work fine for the tasks they do.
I use Vbox with Jessie, systemd, I do not directly interact with the init system, works fine. I already make make judicious use of virtualization for the new stuff.
I prefer a simple as possible gnu/linux environment because I do want to be in control of my own hardware. TDE is enough automagic for me.
GNU is not Unix though :-)
