No matter what the TC decides, there will be no "forcing" involved. Yes, if the user hasn't been paying attention and doesn't take action beforehand, the init after upgrade will by default be systemd (and aterwards, systemd-sysv can be removed to revert that anyway). However, for attentive users, apt pinning systemd-sysv at something like -1 priority will prevent any change in init system. I tried this yesterday. It just works.
