I have lettered these.

(I forgot to say, I edited that a bit.)

If we are I to vote now, I would like to see on the ballot at least:
   DM  systemd by default, but also others
   DO  systemd only in jessie+1
   UM  upstart by default, but also others
   UO  upstart only in jessie+1
   RM  openrc by default, but also others
   VM  sysvinit by default, but also others

I don't think RO and VO make much sense.

Does my text for "O" correctly represent the views of those who want
us to converge on a single system ?

Ian.
