I agree with this; I don't think we should try to force developers into significant work to satisfy an init system constraint as that may prevent or delay important fixes and improvements from entering the repository. Of course, nothing would prevent someone else from fixing these kinds of bugs and having those fixes get merged into the package, potentially invoking §6.1.4 to have the tech-ctte resolve any conflict as needed. However, I'd anticipate that most package developers would readily accept fixes that made their packages work for more people. -- keith.packard@intel.com
