[$] Debian reconsiders init-system diversity

Many community-based Linux distributions have made the decision to switchto systemd, and most of those decisions were accompanied by lengthy,sometimes acrimonious mailing-list discussions. No distribution had aharder time of it than Debian, though, where arguments raged through muchof 2013 before the Debian Technical Committee decided on systemd in early 2014. Thereafter,it is fair to say,appetite for renewing the init-system discussion has been low. Now,though, the topic has returned to the fore andit would appear that the project is heading toward a new generalresolution to decide at what level init systems other than systemd shouldbe supported.
