No, it is a technical question and a question of what Debian should maintain.

We support three init-systems badly. We should fully support one
init-system and make it awesome and easy to use, and not having many
half-baked solutions which are a pain to maintain.
Switching init-systems is nothing anyone would want to do, except for
maybe supporting sysvinit on kFreebsd, while supporting systemd on
Linux - but these are different OSes, and different usecases.
