Right, sysvinit is a viable and easy option for jessie; having any other init systems working is a bonus. At least we know now that we need to concentrate on maintaining sysvinit scripts. Although, come jessie+1, I wonder how upgrades will be handled, if sysvinit scripts go away. Maybe it is preferable to have some new init system *already* in place, as default in jessie. But it's difficult to predict so far ahead. > IMHO it'd be safer to wait and see where things go. I agree, a lot could change now that GNU/Linux has chosen systemd, and we have plenty of time. In particular I wonder what Ubuntu will do, and if Upstart has a future at all. The still-ongoing GNOME/logind issue may have some impact on that.
