I don't understand why a member of TC should be disallowed to raise issues
for the TC to discuss. Do you say that if, formally, the submitter would be
any other of numerous people who see problems in replacing working inits by
systemd, it would be perfectly ok, but if Ian did this this is no longer
allowed?
I see a choir of voices shaming Ian for "abusing the constitution". Yet it
turns out it's you who's picking on a formality rather than the problem at
hand.
And the issue in #762194 is distinct than #727708 and the GR:
#727708: what should be the default init system?
#762194: should existing installations be changed?
GR: can packages be tied to an init system?
None of the above gives an answer to the other two.
Thus, the issue Ian raised is valid. And since changing the init system on
existing installations is an important _technical_ problem, it is in scope
for the CTTE.
Bottom line: Ian did nothing wrong.
