Quite frankly, given that all members of the TC have by this point weighed in with their preference on the "systemd vs. upstart" question and these preferences can be tallied by hand, I don't think there should be any doubt as to how the vote on that core question will go. So I don't think any maintainers should feel blocked on this by the lack of a formal vote; I certainly don't think that the conclusion of the vote is the only blocker for switching the default init system in jessie today, what I've seen suggests that systemd integration is currently in a state that would cause terrible regressions for many server users. So the only unsettled question today is whether, and how, maintainers should be allowed to add dependencies on specific init systems. And if maintainers find themselves blocked on this, well, it's because they should block on it... -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
