There has never been anything blocking any Debian developer from doing work on improving the integration of systemd in Debian, on their own packages or on the packages of others. This has always been possible, without making systemd the default at all. If anyone *does* think they are blocked in doing this integration work because the default has not been decided, that can only be because of a misunderstanding of what deciding the default *means*. And that is precisely why I don't think it's good for the TC to send such an easily misinterpreted message by deciding the default without addressing the surrounding issues. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
