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.

Yep.
Linux has been sucking ass for years now, maybe System D was the tipping point for some folks, but let's not forget some of the classics:
xinetd
rpmfind.net
*kits
dbus
apparmor
selinux
upstart
GNOME
whoopsie
avahi
pulseaudio
...and probably a dozen other abominations...
It's high time to get out.
