The proper solution is to stop trying to hide ourselves from to the fact that some sort of systemd interfaces have been made unavoidable in modern desktop environments (fact which is rightfully reflected in our dependencies tree). Many of the interfaces of systemd are here to stay and will make their way through our stack (like it or not); fact is they already made it quite far in at least Gnome and KDE. As developers of Debian (which this list is about afterall), our proper solution is not to forbid systemd on our various systems while hoping that "not too many things" will end up depending on its interfaces and that our "working setup for so long that I can't even remember" will magically keep working while the underlying stack keeps evolving (with or without systemd btw). Given that the technical committee has made a decision which stayed unchallenged (so far), I've now come to think that this behavior (and its flaming counterpart) is actively hurting the project. The proper solution is to fix (or help fix) all use-cases that became broken with the arrival of systemd and/or make sure that the dependencies tree allows the systemd shim to be installed and working, as well as making sure this shim stays relevant and a working and transparent replacement to systemd itself. We are collectively developing an operating system, not only assembling a set of packages for our own benefit. Our priority is our users and they rightfully expect a rocking Jessie release, which will happen with systemd as default init system. Will we make this happen or will we just end up having gone through an endless bikeshedding discussion about a package that forbids the installation of the default init system!? Can we get over this now and start making Jessie the most awesome stable release we've ever prepared together? Cheers, OdyX
