I agree, but if, say, Sam's option 3 wins, we can directly incorporate this, whereas if, say, Ian's option wins, then we should have a conversation with the sysvinit maintainers to see if they believe they can adopt systemd-tmpfiles directly, and we should give them at least six months (obviously shortened if it happens sooner) to update the packaging and set up a mechanism to run systemd-tmpfiles (or a replacement of their choice) at boot. If you want to start those conversations now, then we could get the proposal to a place where it would be fine for all possible GR options, but I suspect the people that you'd need to talk to are focused on the GR at the moment. Meanwhile, it's going to take at least a week to hash out wording (just based on past experience), and there's no reason not to start that now, and by that point we may be pretty near a vote anyway. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
