I hereby propose and accept an amendment to add a new rubric paragraph
0, and I also propose and do NOT accept an amendment to delete
paragraph 2, so as to result in the following proposal:

 == both versions ==

   0. We exercise our power to set policy, Constitution 6.1.1:

   1. Support for sysvinit is mandatory in jessie.

 == version "multiple" only ==

   2. Debian intends to support multiple init systems, for the
      foreseeable future, and so long as their respective communities
      and code remain healthy.  Nothing outside of an init system's
      implementation may require a specific init system to be pid 1.

 == resolution proposal ends ==

I'm expecting, although I have left it unsaid, that the policy
maintainers would implement this by writing suitable specific wording
in the policy manual.

Ian.
