Right, sysvinit is a viable and easy option for jessie; having any
other init systems working is a bonus.
At least we know now that we need to concentrate on maintaining sysvinit
scripts.
Although, come jessie+1, I wonder how upgrades will be handled, if
sysvinit scripts go away. Maybe it is preferable to have some new init
system *already* in place, as default in jessie. But it's difficult to
predict so far ahead.

I agree, a lot could change now that GNU/Linux has chosen systemd, and
we have plenty of time. In particular I wonder what Ubuntu will do, and
if Upstart has a future at all. The still-ongoing GNOME/logind issue
may have some impact on that.
