Bug#727708: Init system coupling call for votes
* Ian Jackson (ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk) [140209 20:51]:
> I hereby call for votes on the following resolution:
>
> The init system decision is limited to selecting a default
> initsystem for jessie. We expect that Debian will continue to
> support multiple init systems for the foreseeable future; we
> continue to welcome contributions of support for all init systems.
>
> Therefore, for jessie and later releases, we exercise our power to
> set technical policy (Constitution 6.1.1):
>
> Software outside of an init system's implementation may not require
> a specific init system to be pid 1, although degraded operation is
> tolerable.
>
> Maintainers are encouraged to accept technically sound patches
> to enable improved interoperation with various init systems.
Voting in favour (i.e. Resolution, FD).
