The Debian init system general resolution returns
Ian Jackson has resurrected the general resolution prohibiting Debian
packages from depending on a single init system. This resolution failed to
obtain enough seconds to proceed to a vote back in March, but this time
more seconds have appeared and a vote will take place after the two-week
discussion period. The initial discussion suggests that there is some
support for the idea, but that not everybody
appreciates seeing this resolution just before the jessie release is
supposed to go into a freeze.
