Debian General Resolution to Prevent Init System Coupling Fails to Pass

Ian Jackson's general resolution to prevent init system coupling has failed to pass, the majority vote deciding that the resolution is unnecessary. This means that not only will Debian's default init be systemd, but packages will not be required to support other init systems. Presumably, this means that using other init systems on Debian (without using systemd as a base) will not be possible without major workarounds, or possibly at all. It also leaves the future of Debian projects such as kFreeBSD unclear, as systemd is linux specific.

The vote results can be found here

The winners are:

Option 4 "General Resolution is not required"

    torvalds isn't an ignorant fool like the multitudes of systemd hater-tards out there

    he will also not suffer fools lightly

    systemd isn't the end of the world for linux any more than xorg or dbus was

    on the flipside, systemd might end up being the best trick they could ever have come up with to flush the deadwood out of the community, so to all you blind systemd haters out there... fuck off and go bitch on the windows and osx forums... your lack of positive contribution will not be missed

    Because what any technical community needs is to jettison the skeptics, sure.
