I'm confused... I just checked and Hurd is in unstable.

I missed the rest of the discussion, but if the proposal is to replace sysvinit with systemd, that wouldn't force removal of any non-Linux port. It'd be an annoying inconvenient though, as it'd just make it diverge a bit more than it already does. Have you considered InitNG instead? It seems to have similar goals as upstart/systemd without sacrificing portability: http://initng.org/trac -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
