systemd situation in Jesssie

[Martin Vegter <martin.vegter@aol.com>]

Hello,

I am wondering whether systemd will be mandatory in Jessie.
At the moment, I can install Jessie without systemd. Will this stay so,
or will this change somewhere before Jessie becomes stable?

I have servers running Jessie. Can I continue upgrading packages on a
regular basis, without having to worry that one of these updates will
uninstall half of my system and install systemd instead (and make my
servers unbootable) ?

any insight would be appreciated

thanks,
Martin
