We've only ever supported one as a project; if you'd like to start supporting more, please start a thread on that, and perhaps a release goal. > This is an *important* distinction / first step, and it absolutely > *must* be decided *before* the default is decided, because otherwise > the default system becomes just so much more important. The default is the only thing we should support. Trying to support every init system is insane, and again, this has implications on how daemons are started, and small bugs for some radom daemon may start causing subtle heisenbugs in unrelated apps. > Why is it so hard to understand that this is (for me) about > freedom of choice? It may be, but it's not for the project. Let's let this bug be, and have the tech cttie decide on *the* init system for Debian. If you want to support more, again, please suggest it in another thread and/or bug. Cheers, Paul -- .''`.
