Ahoy, fellow developers, Having followed the recent threads, I've been growing concerned - not of sticking with an old init system, or switching to a new one, or even the god-aweful tone of every damn post on that thread (srsly guise). I'm mostly concerned that we, as a project, have a *hard* time trying out big, breakey things -- I know, we're Debian, we're stable, I get that. So, given that no one wants to upload something broken to unstable (lots of users, might end up in stable and have to support it for 5 years), how can we, as a project, step up innovation in Debian? Where can we break these things and try out new bits of integration? I certenly don't have time to manage setting up infra to manage a "fork" (or even a private overlay) of Debian, so how can we support these new bits inside Debian? We do have PPAs coming up - we could use those with breaking "NMUs" (PPA Owner Uploads? POU?) of packages to help with integration, but I fear there might be project backlash over that. So, what do *you* think? How can we break more of Debian for fun and profit? Cheers, Paul -- .''`.
