Given that as the question under discussion, "let's wait until we have a good init to move to" (implication: there are currently no available init systems better than the status quo) was perfectly well served by the ballot option "sysvinit".To any developers who may be here: - At one point there was serious talk about a general resolution to overturn the systemd decision. - As I understand it, a general resolution can be called by any developer - while overturning a technical committee decision takes a 2:1 vote of developers Is there not one developer who is willing to propose such a general resolution? Miles FidelmanAs has been stated many times here - A GR was tried but not enough seconds to carry on.
Actually, no - I've been following this, and related threads, from the beginning - I have not seen anybody actually mention that a GR was tried. Do you have a reference?
