I hereby call for votes on the following resolution: The init system decision is limited to selecting a default initsystem for jessie. We expect that Debian will continue to support multiple init systems for the foreseeable future; we continue to welcome contributions of support for all init systems.
Therefore, for jessie and later releases, we exercise our power to set technical policy (Constitution 6.1.1): Software outside of an init system's implementation may not require a specific init system to be pid 1, although degraded operation is tolerable. Maintainers are encouraged to accept technically sound patches to enable improved interoperation with various init systems.
