Not just UPower. UDisks, PolicyKit and many more. And if we don't take a
sensible stand, soon hostname, cron, dns, network, power etc.
In Debian, until the decision in Feb, everything worked with sysvinit.
And then eventually it broke. As we speak today, Udisk + Upower + PolKit
(experimental) does work again.
Buy my point is, things used to work neutrally. Why can't we strive to
do that?
Have the systemd support. I don't think anyone is opposing that. But
don't bring that at the cost of an alternate neutral option.
Why is SysV Init so unacceptable ? It is a neutral init that serves well
for all our sub-projects. Let that be the default choice.
