combinations to decide upon. There is uncertainty about ideas brought
up for future work that may not exist yet, such as a 'neutral
meta-language definition' or perhaps extending an init system with
features or syntax from another.

step up as camp leader for it, someone who is fully behind it. All I've
done is mention points raised in debian-devel and elsewhere.
