Just for clarity, there's little debate on the matter of the
existing sysvinit/sysv-rc/initscripts setup being optimal. It's
clearly inferior to most of the contemporary solutions (excepting
file-rc, which is even more primitive). You won't find any
disagreement with the sysvinit maintainers on that point--we're
really just keeping it going until we have a suitable replacement.
systemd is right at the top of the list when looking solely at the
technical details; while it might have the odd questionable design
choice, on the whole it's a very nice system. But whether systemd
is appropriate as the default Debian init depends on a bit more
than just that--it also has to fit into the Debian system as a
whole. At the moment it's very much a RedHat project, implementing
the RedHat way of doing things, and this doesn't always fit it
nicely with our historical practices and policies.

Roger
