Me too, I believe that the people interested in kfreebsd-* have had more than enough time to provide the compatibility framework and we cannot hold back Debian forever for the benefit of a toy port. OTOH, it is not obvious to me anymore that Debian should commit to Upstart now that systemd has appeared and it has many compelling features. I believe we should consider systemd's merits and wait and see how it will work in the next Fedora release and if SUSE will really adopt it. This still does not preclude switching from sysvinit to Upstart, it only means that maintainers should not convert their init scripts to Upstart jobs (and it would also allow releasing the kfreebsd-* ports). Removing the Essential flag from sysvinit would allow interested admins to install upstart on their systems if they want to benefit from its features. I am not sure how much useful it would be to also switch to upstart by default in this scenario, I welcome other opinions. -- ciao, Marco
