a. The decision *was* made by Debian developers, as it should be. Those
that do, get to make decisions about how they do 'it' - those that use,
feel free to use elsewhere - or do their own fork instead of getting
others to do it for them.
b. you're flogging a dead horse, the decision *has* been made.
c. it's the *default* init system for *Jessie*. Emphasis on default,
Debian's commitment to choice remains unaltered.
In a futile effort to forestall pointless and unproductive "opinions"
and the debatable 'right' of people to hold and express them.
NOTES: I'm not commenting specifically on your post James, it's just a
point in the thread to inject my opinion in support of the decision by
Debian Technical. Apropos of little - interesting how many of the, um,
most passionate views are expressed by those that *don't* use Debian....
(have deep emotional commitment will travel?).
If it's relevant - I don't prefer systemd, but I do prefer the Debian way.
Kind regards.
