Seems unlikely that the Debian devs will change from systemd as the
default init.
But the options for sticking with sysv init have been discussed plenty.
In spite of the fact that the option for sticking with sysv init in a
new install happens in a way some people object to, the option does
exist, so that gives time for the Debian devs to sort out among
themselves how sysv init will be handled in the future.
It will also provide time to see how many people with the required
knowledge care enough to supply patches to Debian devs in cases where
things are broken when sysv init is being used to bring up the system.
It will also provide the time to see how things develop with
alternatives in cases where upstream requires parts of systemd for
certain features to work.
I'm not in this for the debate, so I don't have anything to say beyond this.
