I would rather not state an opinion on this at the moment, since I think it's a difficult decision and will depend on the exact situation in Debian at the time, the importance of the package, the disruption that might be caused by it not supporting a different init system, and so forth. It's also going to matter quite a lot whether the one readiness protocol that they implemented is one that's supported by the default init system, and whether it's one supported by the init system used by the non-Linux ports. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-ctte-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
