Yes it is. We have had two releases with kfreebsd, which failed to
provide anything usable. Debian is only about Linux, and has always
been.

Let me say that from someone who cannot be suspected of collusion with
Canonical: Debian is not about choice.
Being able to choose between two entirely different desktop
environments, with different user experiences, is a good thing.
Being able to choose between two /bin/sh shells or two /sbin/init
implementations is not.

WTF? Seriously you need to bring your crusade elsewhere.

I want a unique /bin/sh and systemd as sole init system. Not just for my
desktops, I want them for my servers too. Especially for my servers. I
don’t do embedded devices, but I’m pretty sure I’d prefer simplicity and
ease of administration for them too.
