Thank you Ian Jackson and all seconders for this.
Particularly Ian for having done this and become the 'bad-guy' for a
good cause.


Yes!  I too think Ian for sticking up for Debian, I was following the
posts and Ian's membership was indeed threatened..it's so insane and
Ian is trying to save what is left of Debian..But this GR is not
enough..I propose all of 'systemd' be removed as default, it's doing
nothing but causing problems, VLC-headless is requiring the
VLC-player is ridicules, readable text files(my logs) are now
unreadable is not rational at all,

The perfect is the enemy of the good. The GR is good enough for the
time being. We're proceeding with a two prong plan:

1) The GR might cause init program choice.
2) Several of us are documenting, and creating, systemd-free software.

I just don't want to do anything that jeopardizes the chances of the GR
voting for choice.


#1 is going to cause a lot of work, if in fact other init-systems are installable the work will be well worth it, but common sense tells me we should keep systemvinit and upgrade the apps. and then make other init-systems installable.

#2 when you get something to test, let me know. :)
