Hi Jonathan, The fact that Jessie now supports, for want of a better word, "dual init", doesn't preclude this choice going away later. Given the email thread of the CTTE decision and the words of Poettering in the video, as well as *many* references in the CTTE decision that only one choice would be kept, I think the possibility of later removal of choice has moved from "paranoid conspiracy theory" to "yeah, it might happen." For the same reasons, it looks to me like a continued systemd land-grab, resulting in Linux morphing from something anyone can work with into something requiring Red Hat special sauce, has also moved from "paranoid conspiracy theory" to "yeah, it might happen." I think I said it a couple weeks ago: This systemd thing was once merely a technical disagreement, but it's transformed into a matter of trust.
