The line of thought that you have been defending goes much further than the simple technical decision IMO. And I'm not sure it's a position that the whole project can stand behind without a GR. > If the vast majority of developers hate our decision, the GR process > would be the right way to fix it.

But I don't think it's at all likely. Do you ? I do. I know at least one person who expressed his intent to leave Debian if Debian wasn't able to make the choice of systemd. So if one is ready to resign, there will likely be other developers who are ready to start a GR.
