Proposal B is not a compromise proposal in the same direction as Ian's.
Proposal B is a lot closer to proposal C/F than anything Ian would
support.
Proposal B is targeted at a different kind of compromise.
One that I heard under the subtext of people I was talking to who were
not involved enough that they were going to write their own text.
People who are skeptical of systemd, but who believe it is superior to
the other existing init systems.
The big difference between proposal B and F/C is that proposal B
obligates gatekeepers like the release team to think about the issues
involved in integrating technologies that might provide alternatives to
systemd. It says that as a project we'll work with people to run
experiments at a global level, but does not commit individual
maintainers to support these experiments.
Under proposals C/F, the project level gatekeepers probably wouldn't
cooperate with such experiments.
Under all three systemd options (B/C/F), individual packages are not
obligated to support alternate init systems.
