And in this particular case, the "vendor" is RedHat, and the programs are systemd and udev. If we can have an alternative, using OpenRC and mdev, then I really welcome it! Choosing systemd just because it *seem* to look better *now*, knowing that we have a quite hostile upstream, *and* dismissing any other alternative, is a very dangerous bet which I don't think Debian should do. That is, I believe, the most important point of all this thread.
Let's welcome OpenRC and see how it goes... This doesn't mean that we are choosing *now* what will be the *default* init system. Just that we are open to a new alternative.
