a. The decision *was* made by Debian developers, as it should be. Those that do, get to make decisions about how they do 'it' - those that use, feel free to use elsewhere - or do their own fork instead of getting others to do it for them. b. you're flogging a dead horse, the decision *has* been made. c. it's the *default* init system for *Jessie*. Emphasis on default, Debian's commitment to choice remains unaltered. In a futile effort to forestall pointless and unproductive "opinions" and the debatable 'right' of people to hold and express them. NOTES: I'm not commenting specifically on your post James, it's just a point in the thread to inject my opinion in support of the decision by Debian Technical. Apropos of little - interesting how many of the, um, most passionate views are expressed by those that *don't* use Debian.... (have deep emotional commitment will travel?). If it's relevant - I don't prefer systemd, but I do prefer the Debian way. Kind regards. <snipped> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
