I can see now how it could be read that way, but that was not the intent
(or at least, my intent).
In order for the CTTE to actually decide the core question of #762194
(whether upgrades should always get systemd or not), we have to have
concrete technical proposals which implement either one of those
solutions.
In the absence of concrete technical proposals with adequate testing,
I personally am unwilling to make a decision.
This paragraph sought to obtain these technical proposals.
In retrospect, the paragraph probably should have been reworded to also
request technical proposals for existing installations to switch to
systemd on upgrade which also allow for opting out.
Please consider this a request for those as well.
