If you agree that this is only a matter of general technical policy, and
that the current state of jessie matches what you would like to see
after your proposal, couldn't we just agree to withdraw both proposals
now, and discuss what to do for jessie+1 later?
If someone makes changes to dependencies between their packages and init
systems that break this statu quo in jessie, you could still reintroduce
your GR proposal during the freeze. But I think that this threat would
be enough to maintain statu quo until we release (also, it is unlikely
that the release team would allow such changes to be introduced during
the freeze).
What do you think?
