My understanding is that there were plenty of people interested in seconding this when I originally raised it, but that they don't habitually read -vote, and that if I'd spammed -{user,devel} or similar, we could have had the vote earlier in the year. I entirely agree that we should have voted when I originally suggested the idea ( natch ;) ), and I'm sorry that I failed to make that happen when I could have. I wonder if, in the circumstances, the DPL should use their power under 4.2.4 to reduce the discussion period to 1 week. I'd be surprised if anyone is likely to change their view on the desirability of choice of init system now - as others have pointed out, the arguments have been rumbling on for a time.
