Re: Poll: Which Init-System should Debian use in the future?

I've found a interesting poll on heise.de (german it news) today. Its
a survey which init system Debian Users would prefer for future
releases.
You can find the Poll here:
http://pollator.com/polls/which-init-system-should-debian-use-in-the-future/votes/new
The result is quite surprising.
Not really.
There is no identification, and a lot of trolls about systemd exists.
Plus, lot of alternatives lacks. So, this poll, like so many others,
just means nothing.
One could easily vote multiple times ( by hand or with some code ).
Someone else will just not mind about this internal detail. A last one
will vote even if he does not like or use Debian.
This poll is just useless and means just nothing.
Finally, remember:
_ next debian is not tomorrow, things ( people and softwares ) will
evolve.
_ Debian support more than one kernel. So, the main choice is not
really important: alternatives will always be here, at least to support
other kernels ( bsd and hurd for example ).
_ Not all users choose what will be used in next Debian version. Only
contributors (and probably only some of them).
_ you use a poll. Why do not you use the statistics of popcon? As your
poll, they are *not* precise ( every debian user does not contribute to
them, or can simply give partial informations if noatime is on /usr, for
example ), but at least they *might* have a real impact on Debian's
future, and show evolutions in time:
http://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=sysvinit+systemd&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&show_old=on&show_recent=on&show_nofiles=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=2011-01-01&to_date=2014-01-29&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1
The only conclusion you can have from this, is that sysvinit is for now
by far more used.
Using this one:
http://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=+systemd&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&show_old=on&show_recent=on&show_nofiles=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=2013-07-01&to_date=2014-01-29&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1
Will show that systemd's userbase growth quickly since last debian
stable. Now, we will see what it will become in some months, say, in 4
months, because it seems that the spring is not a long one, it already
starts to growth slower, and this graph:
http://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=sysvinit+systemd&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&show_old=on&show_recent=on&show_nofiles=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=2013-07-01&to_date=2014-01-29&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1
Shows that sysvinit still may still be readopted by some systemd users.
Note that none of those graphs are actual proofs that one or the other
is better than the other and as all statistics need to be interpreted
carefully. Numbers can say what you prefer.
