Why not just vote on Bdale's ballot plus the GR override provision? There are 4 members who apparently are going to rank systemd first with the GR provision, and Bdale casts the deciding vote, so systemd wins.
Once systemd's victory and upstart's defeat is established, then discussion on everything else will be much faster, because those who oppose systemd will no longer have any conscious or unconscious tendency to attempt to stall the process or attempt to manipulate the outcome through extra options. Alternatively, if "further discussion" is preferred to action, then an interesting topic for that discussion could be whether someone who appears in https://launchpad.net/upstart/+topcontributors is likely to be capable or interested in providing an unbiased opinion on what the best init system is. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
