Agreed.  My point was that I think people were in too much of a hurry to 
change, as if there was some kind of emergency, and I wish that waiting 
(sticking with sysvinit for now) were more seriously considered.  I didn't mean 
to imply that that choice was not available in the vote.

The vote moved us from one imperfect init to another imperfect init.  It was 
like voting on a beauty contest before the contestants had even finished doing 
their hair, just because we were so intent on removing the crown from last 
year's winner.
