Not true. "Default" just means that it's the init you get if you don't
specify anything else. Other inits are allowed and encouraged but
_someone has to develop, package, and maintain them_.

The decision to make systemd default for Jessie is final: such things
need months (at least!) of lead time (theoretically the decision could
be overturned by a GR but I think that most maintainers realize that
such a GR would delay the release and don't want that). The details are
_not_ final, and the decision could be reversed for a future release.

There is, at the least, the subject of how to live with it.
