Excuse me, but this reply isn't appropriate, just as much as the OP.
Redirecting him to another Unix distribution isn't the thing to do.
Instead, you should have informed the OP that we will continue to
support not only systemd, upstart, or whichever becomes the default.
Because that's the plan. And nobody will force anyone to use the default
settings, just like nobody is forced to use the default desktop.
Even after one of the init systems is declared as default for Jessie, we
will welcome testers for the *other* init systems, just like we do for
any other package in Debian (file-rc anyone? :)).
Also, I wouldn't be against some help with OpenRC packaging. There's
lots of Debian specific patches that are hard to test on each platforms
(kFreeBSD is, if I'm not mistaking, broken by the last upload).
