But maybe that still > leaves a reasonable number of testing/unstable + sysvinit users. I'm using sysvinit+jessie on my main machine. I expect shortly to become a sysvinit+testing user. So please don't just bin sysvinit support if there already is some. I do now also have a systemd+jessie machine, and having both is useful for testing breakage (like the recent schroot/systemd/private-mount-namespace thing I mailed about). After Stretch there may not be that many sysvinit users, but I think that 2 releases is the minimum sensible period to maintain support for such a siginificant change.
