My question is merely: You believe that systemd is the best solution at the moment for Linux. Of course your opinion is fully respected. However, there are a number of Debian Developers, Maintainers and Users that would like to use something "inferior" like sysvinit, openrc, runit, s6 or Shepherd. These users are blocked from using these init systems on Debian (they can be used with a lot of manual intervention but that requires non-trivial knowledge). I would really like to know what the second part of the sentence "Systemd but we support exploring alternatives" means. > Something else might come along tomorrow even better than systemd. Thank you for your time!
