Well. OpenRC was up for discussion as the default init, wasn't it? > You don't care about KFreeBSD, I don't care about KFreeBSD, but some do > so why not leave them to it and focus your energy on something you do > care about? That's correct. However, the problem with kFreeBSD is that I - as a package maintainer - have to invest extra time to make sure my packages don't FTBFS on these architectures as otherwise my packages wouldn't be allowed to migrate to testing. Time which I rather invest into more important packaging work. That would be the same as me forcing everyone else to make sure their packages build fine on m68k even though it has zero relevance. When Michael Stapelberg asked the audience eduring one of his talks [1] whether any of them was using the kFreeBSD port, not a single person was raising their hands, yet everyone else has to deal with it and yet some people lose their minds when it doesn't get the same attention as the Linux port.
