paultag made the request while referencing 6.1.2 as the relevant
clause. He isn't involved in d-i.
6.1.2 is supposed to be about resolving "incompatible policies or
stances". The particular vote proposed here dictates a specific
direction for the project, and doesn't actually do anything about init
system incompatibilities, so its not clear at least to me that 6.1.2
is appropriate.
Best wishes,
