Wow... what arrogance... That is tantamount to treating the debian userbase as lost little children who need to have all of the important decisions made for them. > What choice have they lost? Whatever it was, it didn't exist as you imply > in Wheezy. Ahem... it didn't exist because it didn't *need* to exist, because debian hasn't changed its default init system since... when? Interesting... googling, I couldn't even find out when debian first started using sysvinit, so I guess it has been for a very long time. In my opinion, the systemd proponents should have been required to fix the bug allowing users to easily select the init system at install time *in wheezy* - *and* commit to keeping it working in jessie - as a pre-condition of even getting the question of switching to it as the default for jessie *on the ballot*. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
