Actually, no - I've been following this, and related threads, from the

Martin, Thank you for the reference.
Though.. after a little more research:
- that message was the conclusion of
https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2014/01/msg00000.html - GR:
Selecting the default init system for Debian - started on 1/19, which
essentially concluded 'let's wait for the TC to make a decision before
voting on a GR' - the message you cite was essentially to close at a GR
discussion that had become inactive
- the more interesting, and relevant GR proposal was this one:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2014/03/msg00000.html - Proposal -
preserve freedom of choice of init systems
dated 2/28, AFTER the TC vote (2/11) - the core of which was "In
general, software may not require a specific init system to be pid 1" --
the proposal was made, and received 3 seconds, but not the required 5 -
after a LOT of parliamentary wrangling that, IMHO, was rather
embarrassing - and eventually withdrawn by the original proposer
I must say that I'm very surprised by the outcome of that one - it's the
action that would have avoided forcing dependencies on systemd down
everyone's throats.
