I believe you are wrong. As I understand it, of the eight on the TC who
voted, the four who voted for systemd were all unpaid in this context (they
must earn their living somehow), the four who voted for Upstart were all paid
Ubuntu developers who had in fact worked on Upstart, and no-one voted for
sysvinit.
The casting vote, as we are all only too well aware, was for systemd.
