Looking at Russ's draft, he has already made an effectively identical
change.  Russ's wording is:

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

This differs from yours in the placement of "at this time" (see my
previous mail) and in that it uses "beyond the jessie release" rather
than "after the jessie release".  These don't seem to change the
meaning much for me but improve the way it reads.

You may wish to adopt Russ's wording.

Thanks,
Ian.
