I nicked your wording.  Mutatis mutandi, it would say:

 2. The default init(1) in jessie for non-Linux ports will be systemd
    if it has been ported and confirmed by the porters to be working by
    the time of the jessie release.  Failing this, the default init(1)
    in jessie for non-Linux ports is left to the discretion of the
    maintainers of that port.

    [ However, the Technical Committee requests that, should systemd be
    unavailable on both Hurd and kFreeBSD, the Hurd and kFreeBSD
    porters agree on a single alternative init(1) implementation that
    will be shared by both ports. ]

    [ Non-use of systemd should not be a criterion for architecture
    qualification status in jessie. ]

I think this is a daft thing to say.

Ian.
