Init System Diversity

So perhaps sysvinit and init scripts have had their chance and
it is
time to move on. We could move away from init scripts as the
default
representation. We could stop caring about sysvinit (which
isn't quite
the same thing but is related). That would leave non-linux
ports in an
unfortunate position. But right now there are no non-linux
ports in the
main archive. So perhaps we don't even care about that.
Again, a
change, but a change that we can ask ourselves if we are ready
to make.
This does not look as diversity.
Otherwise I am very surprise that Devuan was not mention at all.
May be it is time to work with the Devuan team and merge Devuan
to Debian.
As someone involved in Devuan: please don't pull it into this.
Sam's *full* message, and not just the bit you quoted, is what
*Debian* needs, which is what his current role asks for.
Mark (elogind's developer) works closely with Devuan but in
general over there, there is consensus that whatever changes are
worth having in Debian should happen in Debian whenever possible,
which is where it has the greatest impact, and that is what this
is about: determining if it is possible and desirable for Debian
that this particular bit *also* happens in Debian.
And that truly has nothing to do with Devuan or what people think
of it.
