I will transpose this into git.

As an observation from a native English speaker, the language is
rather odd.  It is not conventional to have two time clauses next to
each other like that.  I would suggest (but do not formally propose):

   The Technical Committee offers no advice at this time regarding
   sysvinit compatibility after the jessie release.  There are too
   many variables at this point to know what the correct course of
   action will be.

Ie, move "at this time" to after "advice".

Thanks,
Ian.
