Good!

Yes (and no). I am writing this from a Jessie box running sysvinit + 
OpenRC. AIUI you won't actually have to remove any packages to use 
sysvinit, just install sysvinit-core and systemd-shim. I have had to pin 
the systemd package -1 to prevent it being reinstalled on upgrades or on 
dist-upgrades, but I expect that when Jessie is Stable that you won't 
need to do that.

If you want to run or to test a pid1 other than sysvinit or systemd, then 
you might have trouble. Maybe some minit-on-Jessie users on the list 
could provide input?

I don't guess we'll really know for sure until the day comes- but I'm 
confident that it won't be a problem for those who want it.
