So, Holger, are you saying that failure to accomplish our goal of supporting 
several init systems is not a bug?

Would you ask a random user (not a developer) to develop code if he notices 
that e.g. installing brasero changes his init system?

Closing bugs because you do not want to acknowledge that there is really a 
problem is hardly a solution. systemd is the default we choose, not something 
we should impose on all users wherever they want or not at the least 
opportunity. A cd writer changing an init system is not "bussiness as usual".
