Hi Jonathan,
The fact that Jessie now supports, for want of a better word,
"dual init", doesn't preclude this choice going away later.
Given the email thread of the CTTE decision and the words of Poettering
in the video, as well as *many* references in the CTTE decision that
only one choice would be kept, I think the possibility of later removal
of choice has moved from "paranoid conspiracy theory" to "yeah, it
might happen."
For the same reasons, it looks to me like a continued systemd
land-grab, resulting in Linux morphing from something anyone can work
with into something requiring Red Hat special sauce, has also moved
from "paranoid conspiracy theory" to "yeah, it might happen."
I think I said it a couple weeks ago: This systemd thing was once
merely a technical disagreement, but it's transformed into a matter of
trust.
